Scumbria,

I understand his point completely.

However, the problem here is that trying to figure out the "real cost" for one product family out of 10 variations is basically impossible.

And as you know or probably know Intel sells some of it's Flash chips at below cost due to oversupply conditions. They were by far the dominant flash player in the market (and still are the world's largest).

Clearly this product is being subsidized by the CPU side. And clearly the Celeron pricing is being subsidized by the Xeon/PII family.

Having said all that, I cannot see anyone going after Intel on this. But perhaps I am wrong.

Regards,

Kash
