AMD, a move to remember...
AMD Stages a Comeback
Not long ago, chip makers such as Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) and National Semiconductor (NYSE: NSM) seemed hapless in the face of the Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) juggernaut. Some even speculated that Intel spared these companies only to help protect itself from antitrust difficulties. Oh how things have changed. Last year, National Semiconductor quit the microprocessor business and went off to bigger and better things in analog chips, but AMD decided to stay and fight. And this year, as demand for microprocessors soared, AMD was ready with its newer Athlon chips, and even won a contract with PC maker Gateway (NYSE: GTW) when Intel couldn't meet the company's needs. As mentioned in our"Winners and Losers" series, AMD shares have soared 191% so far this year -- evidence that the company has had no shortage of good moves.
