Oh Look, Now It's HP Too....

The Madisons that Intel will supply Dell will be very heavily discounted, in a bid to stave off the 2GHz Opteron attack. The Dell move may also be intended to put HP's nose out of joint, we understand.
Of course, that is bound to irritate HP, which will pay far more for the Madison 6MB Itaniums than its younger contender and hated enemy.......
In fact, it appears Intel has "favourites" in what was thought to be a "level playing field", and referees are advised to retire to the changing rooms if Carly Fiorina and HP turn up and demand answers to their questions.


No doubt there will now be reports of "evidence" that intel is strong arming HP too...... I'm surprised McGee didn't choke on using the words "In Fact" in the same sentence as "It Appears"....... Way to go, FUD Master Mike!
