Tejerk - Re: " Its alleged in the article that GTW got benefits for buying exclusively from intc."

I'm sure they will benefit form VOLUME DISCOUNTS by ordering all their CPUs from Intel - as opposed to splitting the orders between AMD and Intel.

They should also benefit by getting near-guaranteed delivery from Intel - as opposed to "if and when available delivery" from AMD.

Delivery is important when you are in business to make a profit.

AMD doesn't have such constraints - as you know.
