Longshot, In the middle of an expanding FTC investigation of Intel, this AMD announcement will be taken very seriously. Intel may have gone too far this time. They are displaying the type of monopolistic behavior that anti-trust laws were specifically written for. Scumbria

Longshot, Re: "The two possible remedies are: 1. Antitrust action" This won't work, Longshot ... Intel is making money on their "low end" processors. Ask Jimmy to send you a copy of his calculations of Intel's die cost. Sorry your "longshot" didn't work out for you. <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

Re: "Oh please, spare us. First you guys cheer for how much market share AMD and NSM have, which implies Intel is NOT a monopoly and now that AMD falters, Intel is now a monopoly again. Doh! In any case, I would bet Intel is still making money with their price cuts. They might not be making Xeon-like margins, but I would suspect their margins are still fairly decent, so please spare us the predatory pricing whine. It's not their fault that AMD screwed up..." Precisely!
