What can I say? The Core 2 lineup is impressive not just in terms of price/performance, but power consumption as well... AMD will cut prices again, I'm sure, but it's nice to see Intel become competitive again. I'd buy their stuff just to endorse the death of NetBurst (can't come fast enough in my opinion).

Then again, I'll be buying Apple's Intel boxes, so I guess I don't actually have much of a choice, do I? Just good to see that Apple wasn't wrong when they said Intel had the best looking roadmap.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, the prices that Intel sets are cheap. A lack of supply and a high demand will drive up prices for the end user at the beginning—that's just basic economics. If a retailer can charge more and still move units because some people want 'em, why not take the extra profit? Once units become more plentiful, prices will go down.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
