p2pnet.net News:- What do Intel and AMD currently not have in common with the movie and music industries?

• The former operate in a strongly competitive environment, to the ultimate benefit of their customers.
• The latter do everything within their power to kill any form of competition, to the continuing detriment of their customers.

“AMD took an axe to its processor pricing over the weekend,” says The Inquirer.

“AMD and arch rival Intel both blamed each other for tumbling revenues in last week’s earnings reports filed by the companies. But that hasn’t stopped AMD continuing to bullishly go after market share. The firm has cut prices across its range of desktop processors.”

Or as TG Daily puts it, “to remain competitive, the company [AMD] today slashed the prices of all desktop processors,” although the drop, whicg averaged 47%, “may not be enough to retain overall price/performance leadership, according to TG Daily findings”.

The Big Four labels and Big Six studios have until this century held virtual monopolies in the entertainment industries.

However, thanks to the Net, they’re being dragged kicking and screaming into the world of competition and sooner or later, their customers, too, will benefit from price reductions wrought by the dreaded C word.
