Turn out the lights, the party's over. AMD, what a dissappointment.

Dear Van, These Intel price cuts were anticipated in AMD's last conference call. They catch no one by surprise. AMD may be headed back to the teens, but it won't be on fundamentals unless there is news out that yields are not increasing at Fab25. And the fact that you can't find the chips listed in the Chip Merchant is not sufficient evidence that AMD is not supplying its Tier 1 and 2 customers. Let's wait to hear concrete news on yield trends before we jump ship.

Van Nguyen, as others have already said, the Intel price cuts are not a surprise, see techstocks.com
for my own analysis.

I don't remember where I got the prices from, but if they have changed, please post what the new ones are.

As the reference above states, AMD can maintain a blended ASP of $150 just by selling as many 233's as 166's. We will know soon whether the mask fix introduced in September fixed the speed yield problem.
