Re: what is the state of Intel's processes and why are the margins so poor nowadays

It's a business with high fixed costs and low variable costs. When volume goes down, so do profits - especially if your forecasts are based upon the theory that PCs are replaced by businesses on a 3 year cycle and the high number of systems bought in 1999 were going to be replaced this year.
