Unfortuneately Intel seems to be obsessed with moving the target at the risk of blowing their own foot off. I agree with you Scumbria. AMD has made significant progress in speeding up and otherwise improving and producing their chips. All AMD emloyess and Jerry deserve credit for this. As many people have said AMD does not control the market price, the totality of market forces do. Intel has been a huge factor in these market forces as of late. In addition, Intel has shown that they could be made to move faster than they would have planned to keep ahead of AMD. During the past year Intel has gone from a market milking, "harvest strategy", to a "compete at all cost strategy". Hopefully, Intel will learn to amicably co-exist with a #2 player without costly price wars. The presence of competition is good for Intel in the long run. It will likely result in an expanded overall market size for total CPUS due to more effective servicing of customer needs. It is difficult for a single supplier with all the market to be truly customer oriented.
