Since they’ve lead the market so consistently for so long I think they’ve never been in a protracted situation where aggressive price cuts where required.
AMD to their credit have played everything blindingly well with nary a misstep in the last two years.
It must be hard to be intel and have your seeming invincibility in the x86 market challenged by a company that nearly went bust not that long ago.
