Maybe I'm missing something, but a high cost producer (AMD)
can't buy market share from a low cost producer (INTC) for
long. Increased volume doesn't help if you lose money on each
item you sell.
Without it's attempts to outspend Intel, AMD would be a very
profitable company.AMD leadership probably has a finite time
period to start making profits on it's microprocessors.
Eventually, the board of directors will insist that AMD drop this
drag on earnings if it becomes apparent that there is little
hope that it can be made profitable. Of course there is always
the chance that AMD can sell enough to make money on them,
but the window of opportunity is getting smaller as time
passes."

Well said...
