<<As long as AMD initiates the stabilization process (it has no market power and is not a monopolist) and Intel responds so as not to undercut AMD's prices,>> Sooner or later, we would hear idea like this given the fast declining prices for both AMD and Intel's CPUs. You have laid it out elegantly, thanks. The queation is that will Intel cooperate when AMD takes the initiative?

re: <Price fixing?> Of course it is not price fixing for AMD to price their products at a level that they can make money. This obviously calls for a price increase since they're not making money now. If Intel then prices so as to maximize their own total profit by keeping their prices higher and letting AMD have 15-20% market share at the low end -- that's not price fixing either. In fact, Intel has always been inclined to behave this way. It is a perfectly natural way for an industry to run and both Intel and AMD could be successful.
