"So the argument has come down to pricing once again, has it? That's of course nonsense, and you know it."
Come out into the real world wanna. It is always pricing. When HP starting using AMD across their product line and dropped the percentage of Intel, their profits and market share has gone up. With AMD, they can build a cheaper machine at a given performance level. Waving your hands doesn't change this fact. Repeating Intel's marketing materials doesn't change that. Inventing reasons why K8 gained market share doesn't change that.
HP doesn't pay all that much attention to the marketing materials. Well, ok. Under Carley they might have, but things have changed under Hurd.
The elephant in the room is the P4 products. And they aren't going away anytime soon. Given that there is a new stepping due out in September, they will be around for a long time.
