Intel price cuts
Probably never. The OEMs will absorb the CPU price cuts as added profit
margin. On the other hand, if one of name-brand companies gets desperate to sell a particular product line, there will be some room for a price cut. This is your typical Intel price curve, almost prohibitively expensive for early adopters, followed by successive price cuts, followed by cheap mainstream pricing, followed by (WHOOPS!) rising prices when a CPU is no longer in production...

Intel price cuts
I just skimmed, but the article completely misses the point.
Intel is selling because their price/performance is dramatically better. It wasn't prior to the Core Duo and particularly now with the Core 2 Duo, but if you look now, AMD isn't competitive.

Intel price cuts
In my view, the issue is not so much what AMD did wrong but what Intel
did right. AMD's biggest problem is just that the Core 2 Duo product line is just superb in every possible way. There used to be reasons to buy AMD for some buyers and Intel for other buyers, but as things now stand, the "right" product for almost every buyer is an Intel product.

There used to be reasons to buy AMD for some buyers and Intel for other buyers, but as things now stand, the "right" product for almost every buyer is an Intel product. I'm glad Intel is the right product, because I never wanted to get into the details of which company's chips are better. I couldn't help noticing though that in the past AMD-supplied PCs seemed to be significantly cheaper. It is confusing to many that "Core 2" is better than "Core Duo". I know someone who just bought a new "Core Duo" thinking he was getting the latest chips. I guess it's "buyer, be aware". This newsgroup has helped me significantly in that regard. I hope the next iteration of Intel's chips aren't "Quad Core 2 Duo's" -- I've had enough mental gymnastics for a while. Actually, I won't be in the market for a new computer for several years. Seriously!!! (I know you don't believe me). Rather than chipsets, I am looking more forward to laptops with more efficient (LED or otherwise) screens and solid state drives with instant-on. Then I'll ditch my Palm and never look back. Ubiquitous WLAN would be nice too. Instant on, instant everywhere, instant check e-mail, instant check calendar, instant enter task, instantly stream music to wireless headphones (instant b'bye iPod), instant video-call Aunt Harriet, instant watch 97th episode of MASH, instant off, last all-day, instant mocha cappuccino. |
