865 was culled because it was old, the rest were absolute bottom end,
you can put money on them selling boatloads of i945 chipsets, i955X
chipsets, and the forthcoming i975 chipset though... and that's where
the money is, in the middle ground where the volumes are high and the
margins aren't pitiful.
I fail to see how you're corroborating 'they cull a bunch of low end
products' with 'they only make money on mobile chipsets' Hayes.
