AMD & Intel Race To The Bottom - Price Wars

Intel, the largest chipmaker in the world, has been fighting back with its scale and dropping prices on chips in an effort to throw off inventory and stem market share losses to AMD. AMD has responded by cutting prices on some products as well. "Suppliers are not the winners in a price war," says analyst John Lau with Jefferies, who reduced his estimates already and expects more reductions ahead.

The price war is good for CPU buyers and share buyers. As the CPU prices drop so do the share prices, so jump in when they hit rock bottom and watch them rise.
