Re: "It sounds like we are in agreement. Intel is setting (manipulating) CPU prices in an attempt to hurt AMD. " I prefer to think that Intel is being competitive. If AMD wants to play in the big leagues, they are going to have to compete. It's one thing to design a good processor, it's another thing to produce it. This is what competition is all about. There is price competition everywhere else so why is this any different? Intel continues to make money and AMD continues to loose it. In competition this is called winning and loosing. From a business standpoint, AMD is proving it can't compete. Should we declare that if all companies had an equal chance all would produce equal results and thereby measure equality by results alone? Should we have an affirmative action plan for AMD? Should we level the playing field to guarantee AMD wins it's "fair share" by denying Intel their's? Is Intel's success by definition it's own wrongdoing? Is there no chance that AMD could have gotten where they are by incompetence alone, and therefore they simply must be the victiums of something? Do you feel their pain? EP
