Had Intel decided to sacrifice a little market share and keep margins up, everyone would be making more money. On the contrary, had Intel decided to sacrifice a little market share in hopes of keeping margins up, competitors could gain even more in the future, especially in 1999. Intel would be faced with much smaller volumes as a result, and no amount of high margins would be able to support the bottom line. Tenchusatsu

Scumbria - Re: "Cyrix would have been perfectly happy to sell CPU's for $300." They tried - or don't you know? When Cyrix came out with their 686 toaster, they tried to sell it at the same price as Intel's Pentium. Nobody was buying. Virtually nobody. Jerry Rogers - Cyrix founder and ex- CEO lost his job over that fiasco. Cyrix is now a don't care. They would be happy selling anything at any price. They have inferior products, inferior product development people and inferior manufacturing. Not to mention superior losses. Paul
