<Hint measure the drop in Intels profits compared to what they would have been without the predatory price drops, say by adding $100 to each processor they sold. The compare that loss with AMDs losses. Intel as high on the food chain is without doubt engaged in a war of attrition that it will most likely win as it is so much bigger than AMD that it can eat those losses, and make it back later after AMD is gone broke.> Bill, I think this is an incorrect use of the term "loss". You are attempting to compare Intel's reduced profits with AMD's increased losses. Intel is not eating any losses, they may enjoy lower profits. AMD may go from suffering losses to suffering bigger losses. Intel can flurish forever on lower profits but AMD cannot even survive on continued losses EP
