Re: "Intc is the one that is scrambling, not AMD. Why devalue your 700 MHz production before it even gets to the market in quantity in order to jump ahead of the competition by 18 MHz? Do you think that makes good business sense?" Do you really want to start a discussion of AMD decisions and if they make business sense? How about spending $800 Million on Nexgen and posting nothing but losses ever since? How about killing the 29K to pump more funds into the loser processor group? How about selling the PLD group to raise more money to buy Jerry some more dope? How about selling the Communications group to buy more of Jerry's dope? How about selling their headquarters so they could buy more dope for Jerry? How about never making a profit for any processor they have ever designed yet still betting the company on processors? How about a share price that is half what it was 15 years ago? How about losses as far into the future as the eye can see? How about senior management leaving to get off the sinking ship? How about the design staff leaving in droves due to poor moral, poor pay and worthless options? But you're right. Intel is the one who is scrambling. They only made $1.9 BILLION last quarter and have $12 BILLION in the bank. EP
