Intel Corp (INTC)

wbmw,

The most obvious source is the Intel price list, which lists currently available parts, as opposed to one time discounts based on inventory reductions.

I am not sure why are you arguing this to the death, when you know the facts are not on your side.

This is not a one time discount. This is not inventory reduction. This part has never appeared on Intel price list. Despite the fact it has never appeared on Intel price list, it is a new part that Intel has started selling in recent month. Intel created this part just very recently, to fight a price war.

The reason Intel started selling CPUs at bargain basement prices was to stop losing market share.

So no fluke. It is a plan. Intel is now trying to take market share from VIA and pricing the processors to do so.
