Re: No they don't come free but Intel doesn't share the profit with anyone else.

Good thing too because US fabs and labor don't come cheap.


While AMD may get a slightly lower price now due to the fact their fabs weren't fully utilized and TSMC's more likely are, they're also getting a generic process which prevents them from getting a premium price.

How many 32-nm Atom netbooks were sold last year? Zero? Why was Intel using an inferior process for Atom? Why was Intel denying itself a "premium price" for Atom?

These are budget processors and any "pricing premium" wasn't worth the expense of producing them in cutting edge fabs.
