Re: "If you want to really understand what AMD's problem is, look at Intel's CPU pricing vs. MHz. They have carefully constructed the curve to make sure that only the highest speed grades are profitable."

Scumbria, It is not Intel's fault that AMD has high manufacturing costs. Intel makes money on their lower speed devices. If AMD can't then well.. that's life. I know you would advocate tilting the playing field to whatever angle necessary to make the results equal and then call that "fair", but fortunately we haven't come to that yet.

I agree... until AMD has a profitable high-end chip they will not succeed.

Competing with Celery sticks is a no win situation.

SCUMbria - Re: "Until AMD matches Intel's highest speed grade, they will not make money"

No - AMD would STILL FIND a way to lose money.

It's their CORPORATE CULTURE !
