Re. Celeron down to $55 cost , good for them That's still 60% more than AMD . Obviously the difference is that AMD from square one specifically designed a chip that would be cheaper to make . It never occured to Intel that they would have to do such a thing . The reason was that Intel was overconfident like many of its shareholders .
