Re: AMD can always backstop falling MPU ASP and margins
with flash. Oh wait...

I predict that AMD will fight this with massive price drops, along the lines of what they did in 2002. 90nm Opteron single cores will sell for bargain basement prices, and AMD will hope to increase upsell potential for the dual core versions to offset the balance. Either way, next year will be tough on them, and it's no wonder that they resorted to filing a lawsuit in hopes that it would make Intel a little less aggressive in competing next year for market share. However, I don't think it will work as well as they hoped.
