What do you propose?There is no "knife fight" because if there was, we would see prices being slashed, which is normally the effect of real competition. The reality is we have a few dominant companies that are increasing prices for the mainstream every year. We have effectively two companies in this so called war for CPUs, the fact that myself and others think that this represents free market choice anyone with half a brain would think that we were insane. The fact that our reasoning has become, "Thank God AMD is in the market now" further proves how low our expectations are when it comes to competitive consumer pricing in a CPU market dominated by just two tech corps.
