I think Intel should be VERY careful with their monopolistic business practices.
Selling the chipset at the price of the Atom alone will lead them to closer inspection with the EU officers. And those EU officers like anything but monopolistic behavior.

Without a blink of the eye they might put another half billion Euros penalty on Intel.

Only today they fined E.On and GDF some EUR 1.1 Billion on monopolistic behavior on gas prices.

Watch out Intel. you have great products and great marketing. But don’t overshoot!
