Intel Corp (INTC)

FPG,

Twist all you want, but the fact remains that Intel is paying OEMs what it takes to make Intel a viable choice

WTF? Since when was Intel required to charge break-even prices for their products?

That's like telling Tesla they have to pay consumers to make their Model S a "viable choice."

Or Chevy that they have to pay customers to make their hybrid-electric Volt a "viable choice."

Or even Apple that they have to pay customers to make Mac Pro a "viable choice."

Not every product has to be profitable on paper. Sure, it eventually needs to make a profit (or provide positive ROI in other ways), but to dismiss Intel's revenue share as "paying OEMs" is silly.
