Intel Corp (INTC)

You assume this is intentional?

Yes. I have seen it too often now in the media which I know would not print or run it without Intels approval.

On some second thoughts of it, apart from the fact the species building their computers from retails components is dieing out, these chaps know anyway they can buy the parts cheaper in half a year. So the market impact is very close to irrelevant.

But this does not give the answer why they do it. It might be along this: The message transported to the public is Intel will be aggressive on prices next year. I believe they do it to prepare the financial markets for showing lower margins next year and at the same time insinuate a reasoning for it.
