amd is gradually losing its market share. i hope they will hit back with a better processor. btw those prices are competitive and we can expect more price cuts in future :D

Who made 80286 processors?: Intel, AMD, and Harris
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_80286
The Intel 80286 (often abbreviated to "286", is an x86-family 16-bit microprocessor that was introduced by Intel on February 1, 1982. It has 134,000 transistors. Initially released in 6 and 8 MHz editions, it was subsequently scaled up to 12.5 MHz. (AMD and Harris later pushed the architecture to speeds as high as 20 MHz and 25 MHz, respectively.)

AMD has been gaining marketshare every quarter so far (12 quarter in a row)...though there is a rumour that they might finally lose some this quarter.

Ahhh, now it is clear. Yup, you are right too. :thumbsup:

Don't know that the next gen cpu of AMD is the intended purpose of the price cut. AMD is possibly a tad vunerable due to its ATI take over. Intel is trying to squeeze the cash flow of AMD a little hping to buy time on some of the new plans the new consortium has. The integrated chipset market is the one I think Intel wants to protect here.
