nV took it in the pants even worse, due to reimbursing it's partners for the high initial launch of GT200. Remember those $50-$100 in eVGA dollars they offered anyone who bought a GT200 on launch week? I bet I know who ended up with that bill.
Back on CPU topic, I don't really see AMD gaining any sort of market share anytime soon. Deneb may bring back a couple fanbois who bought a Core 2 only because it is the clear better choice, but it still doesnt look like they will have anything to compete with a $160 E8400 @ 4.2 ghz.
They will have to keep Denebs price down in order for OEMs to be able to use them against OEM Core 2s as well.
