<Is Intel selling parts at a lower price than they need to? Using your logic, that would indicate that they are either stupid or not interested in making money.> With my limited view on the world, I'll answer yes. I feel that Intel doesn't need to lower its prices this weekend because they are already forecasting sold-out conditions for Q4. AMD didn't make this forecast, although they'll probably hit it as well. But from a less cynical perspective, I realize that these price cuts are just paving the way for the faster CPU's coming out in the future. Obvious neither Intel nor AMD is stupid. CPU pricing is a pretty tricky art. It's just hard for me, as an investor, to see how this drastic price slashing leads to more profit when production is limited. Or maybe production isn't as limited as I thought, or demand isn't as strong? Tenchusatsu
