While reading an article over at The Inquirer I followed a link they supplied to an online store where I was amazed to see Intels declaration of war on AMD's CPU line
Example: AMD
ATHLON MP 1.5GHZ DESKTOP PROCESSOR $216.95
ATHLON MP 1.6GHZ DESKTOP PROCESSOR $249.95
ATHLON MP 1.8GHZ DESKTOP PROCESSOR $349.95
Example: Intel
PENTIUM 4 1.7GHZ W/128MB RDRAM 256K $266.95
PENTIUM 4 1.7GHZ W/256MB RDRAM 256K $299.95
PENTIUM 4 PROC 1.8GHZ 256K/400MHZ FSB $294.95
PENTIUM 4 PROC 1.9GHZ 256K/400MHZ FSB $429.95
would you look at that, Intel cheaper than AMD, I thought I'd never live to see the day. It isnt much cheaper, but hey!
