Which credible threat is allowing Google et al to assert pricing pressure?
- detaro 10y agoGoogle is active with ARM and (Open)POWER. ARM remains a threat to the lower end, POWER challenges fat Xeons. Potentially AMD, depending on how their current development efforts are going. Buying Intel is easier, so Intel gets to guess how far they can go before one of their large customers decides that the risk of going with one of those alternatives is worth it (demonstrating to the world that Intel isn't the only viable option in the process, which might at the end be the bigger damage for Intel)
