RE: [H] Intel really starting to feel AMD's bite.
Well, honestly, I figure Dell gets cut a much bigger discount on all items, rather then just CPU alone. More then that, I figure items which can cost small OEMs big money (like a case & PSU) are virtually nothing for Dell who does their own, Modems? Hard Drives? Dell often doesn't sell the new cutting edge, and I'm sure they load up on inventory overbuys on 120G etc. drives they pay very little on and so on. I don't think CPU is the only place they save money.

I am seeing Compaq's with AMD Sempron's now. For years we low volume OEM's have been subsidizing Dell and the other large computer manufacturers. Is there any way they could sell CPU's to Dell for $20.00 if they did not charge us low volume OEM's $100.00 per CPU? Oh, I am supposed to prove Dell pays only $20.00 for a CPU and perhaps less for Windows Home OEM? This is easy. Just add up these 8 components in the price of a $300.00 to $500.00 name brand computer. Case Motherboard CPU Memory Modem Hard drive DVD-CDR/W Windows XP Home OEM There simply is not enough wiggle room there for them to pay any more than $20.00 for a CPU and for Windows XP Home OEM. The only way Intel can cut prices is to pass those cuts on as increases to us smaller OEM's who are already paying for your Dells and if they do this and put us out of business, then you will pay the true costs to build your Dells. This is an option. If they do this, look out for the end of the cheap Dells. Be prepared to pay from $600.00 to $1000.00 for your Dells and other name brands if we quit subsidizing them for you.

So you are assuming that they only get great prices on CPUs and Windows? Why wouldn't they be getting vastly better prices than we do on all components given that they sell millions of times more product? T

Doesn't this sound like Intel's CPU prices are going to be cut drastically to reduce that inventory???
