Furthermore Intel failed to learn from others mistakes.

The pattern, within the PC industry, has been overproduction -> price wars -> downfall of sector.

Intel is falling right in line. At this time, in the PC sector, everybody loses in a price war.

"...then the consumer box makers looked for what else could be lower in cost and voila, they started to look for lower CPU costs real hard."

Are you saying then that AMD/CYRIX/CPQ are selling these sub $1000 PCs at a profit? If so what are their margins? It's my understanding they are incurring substantial losses. Am I wrong?
