Thread, Well, INTC seems to be doing well this morning. I wonder if it's a short squeeze, run-up to earnings/split, or what? We may indeed see $130+ this week! Chris

1) You can do better when you order more than 1000 and get a better price. 2) The price cuts announced today have probably been in effect for a short while prior to the announcement.

scum bria - Re: " How do you explain this?" Quite simply. Read the rest of the article: "So chips reach the grey market. Intel is well aware of the existence of this market, as are other CPU manufacturers, but it is not in its interest to stop it. That's why you can get bargains and it's also the reason why Intel doesn't make a song and dance about its price changes. It has to keep its customers (OEMs and distributors) happy, and if you, the poor end user, knew that there was an enormous price cut coming any day now, you might delay buying a new PC. And that would never do, especially as Intel's 50 per cent plus profit margins would be affected. Later this week, AMD will turn in lossy results while Intel will do, well, pretty OK " Paul
