      I’m skeptical about how much another competitor would help…if intel can offer a comparable product, they’ll get right in on the price gouging too. Why wouldn’t they?

          So they’re either in the “no one wants to buy” situation, with a product that doesn’t quite measure up and a lower price is the incentive to buy, or they reach parity with AMD, and bring the price up to match as well.

          Maybe there is a window in between where they’re sacrificing some profit to grow their market share, and regular customers benefit, but I have 0 faith in this economic system.
