Price cutting by enough to pull your demand forward is probably a losing strategy for Intel. If they cut their CPU price in half, would they sell twice as many? I doubt it. Their gross margin is between 40 and 50%. Call it 50% to be generous and make the math easy. If their selling price today is 6X and they sell U units, their gross profit is 3 * X * U. If they cut the selling price to 4X and sell 2U units, the resulting profit is around 2 * X * U. If they were somehow able to move 3 times as many units with a 33% price reduction, their gross profits would stay about the same as today. What would a 33% reduction in the price of the Intel components in your laptop mean at retail? A 10% reduction in the shelf price? 15% maximum?
