Intel is holding back deliberately to let AMD catch up a bit. Their Core 2 series can easily scale to 4Ghz, and yet, they're only just hitting over 3Ghz in official speeds?
Hacker91, THINK before you TYPE. You do NOT bury the competition in an "anti-trust suicide mission". That's nothing but mindless fanboy talk. (filled with emotion of jealousy, hatred, etc).
If Intel loses an anti-trust case, it gives future cases evidence (to establish the background behaviour of Intel). Instead of a single case, it'll be a string of cases in the future for Intel. (This is exactly what happened to Microsoft). So instead of spending money on making better and better solutions, they'll be wasting money on paying off fines! Do you really want that?
What Intel is doing, is playing with AMD. Like a cat playing with its ball of woolen yarn. They know that competition remains important if they're to be the "good guy" in an anti-trust case.
Its also wrong to say Intel has nothing to lose. They have plenty to lose. Being the dominant provider means you value something...Marketshare. Marketshare -> Sales -> Profit.
Its important to understand that there needs to be competition. If not for competition, there would be no innovation and price cutting. Which would result in being bad for us.
So I say again. THINK before you TYPE.
