That was a pretty poor guidance. -16% next quarter. Did AMD lose even more market share to Intel? That tells me despite the hype Kaveri isn't selling that well or is not projected to sale that well.
Soon all the Intel Fanboys who trash AMD will get their wish, but be prepare to pay $300 for a celeron when AMD goes under or exit the PC business completely.
Please no. I don't want to go back to the bad old days of Pentium II pricing.
LOL Stop being so melodramatic.
If AMD exits the x86 market, Intel price rises are likely to be relatively modest.
Why????
Because AMD is pretty much already irrelevant to Intel's pricing.
The major factor in Intel's current pricing is the previous generation of Intel CPU's.
People would simply not replace existing systems until CPU's or motherboards stopped working, and that would leave Intel with empty fabs, and empty fabs is expensive.
Nor does Intel want to be giving people more reasons to be running into the ever loving arms of ARM.
