By now, we should be enjoying a true comm- odity market in which the pricing trends of x86 CPUs track those of other PC components and semiconductors. Today, we're celebrating the $500 PC, even though economic forces should have that price closer to $200. With chip manufacturing capacity and yields being as high as they are, all but the most advanced x86 processors should be readily affordable. They should be as cheap as light-bulbs. Well, designer store lightbulbs.
