   What about the price cuts coming in July. Isn't the X2 3800+ supposed to be cut in half (down to around $170) next month?

   IMO Intel had to release that low-cost CPU as a direct result of AMD's superiority in this sector..not because Intel had a product that was necessarily better.Intel can make good products, but historically has chosen to out-price those products and effectively restrict markets..AMD doesn't want to do this, because Intel can and will, adjust it's pricing accordingly the moment it feels the strain.Currently this immensely overhauled Intel production line is competing against AMD products that are a couple of years old (Athlon64); it's taken one heck of a step back to the drawing board for Intel, in order to achieve what looks like such favourable differences in performance and power consumption.Horses for courses. Sometimes Intel is in front, sometimes others and credit where credit is due. I still like AMD because they offer the kind of competition that was unheard of a few years ago, and now have the capability to mass-manufacture some spectacular hardware. I don't think AMD is gonna have such a hard time overhauling the Athlon64, as Intel did with the P4.
