However, Intel takes Microsoft's abuses one step further. By giving away IE with Windows, it was impossible for Netscape to charge money for its browser, and most people just didn't have a need for a second browser. Now, imagine if Microsoft had built IE into Windows, and then charged the customers who intended to run Netscape nearly double for their copies Windows.

That is what Intel is doing here. It's not that they're giving partners incentives to use their chipsets, which would be fine. Instead, they're jacking up prices on anyone who won't, actively discouraging competition.

Intel needs to be broken up. Hopefully that will happen before AMD and Nvidia are totally bankrupt. ]]>May 20th 2009 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/

Actually, part of the European anti-trust involved showing that Intel actually does that to maintain market share.

Nvidia guy is complaining because Intel sells their processor chip for less money than Nvidia can sell their similarly powered processor chip?]]>May 20th 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/
This is flagrant anti-competitive behavior. It makes it completely impossible for anyone to offer an Atom+chipset platform anywhere near the prices Intel offers them at because they charge competitors almost twice as much for the CPU as Intel charges for the whole CPU/chipset combo. I knew Intel was predatory and anti-competitive but this is far too flagrant to ignore. Guess I won't recommend another netbook or notebook to anyone unless it has a non-Intel chipset and/or CPU until they change this ridiculous policy.]]>May 20th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/May 20th 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/
There's something I don't quite understand.

If the AtomCPU=$45 and the AtomChipset=$25, why don't the OEMs buy the AtomChipset for $25 and just use the AtomCPU from the bundle. Wouldn't they, in essence, be getting the AtomCPU for $25? Then build the system with Atom + Ion. Sure it would be $25 + the cost of Ion, but that is better than $45 + the cost of Ion.]]>May 20th 2009 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-nvidia-calls-intels-single-chip-atom-pricin/

25 dollars for the combo is less expensive than 30 dollars (at least) for atom+ion.
