MB, >>4. He sees a big drop in sequential sales for Intel, with a million fewer parts and ASP off about 4%. The internet investments and the year over year comparisons will cover the obvious trend. The $800 million or so plunge in revenues per quarter since December will be the largest in Intel history.

This monopoly must have some competition.<ggg> On the serious side of the equation, I have an electrical engineering advisor that believes Intel has not developed a crack manufacturing process technology group. This makes some sense because if a company is a monopoly in their business area this process is not required to be the "best that they can be". I saw evidence of this in the last few years with product push-outs, delayed deliveries and quality problems. It is my opinion that their margins should be expanding instead of contracting if they were real experts in this area. If this conjecture is correct Intel will have to pay attention to this area or the world is going to get more difficult very fast.
