AMD cuts dual cores similar to Intel
Price war is on. Processor prices will drop significantly in a month or so. Now it is AMD's turn to drop prices. Mobo manufacturers are delighted.
Dual cores 30-40% and single cores down to 50%. Still, seems for 10% less than Intel.
Was that yet another Intel's mistake in a row?
So, why did Dell lose Intel's benefits?
Now the answer is obvious: Because after the latest cut, all lose Intel's benefits. 60% Pentium's margins that enabled Dell's steady growth by years are gone, so now all Intel's partners are in the same, equal position. No more priviledged !.
