Mani,

<You make it sound like all it takes for AMD to make its own chipset is a management decision. Not so.

Where is AMD going to come up with the experienced engineering talent for the chipset and MB projects? AMD's engineering resources are already limited. They must concentrate those resources in CPU design, not chip set and MB. IMO if AMD decides to enter the MB market and do more chipset work that is absolutely necessary, it would be a big mistake.>

Excellent points - especially in the context of the employment situation in the Bay now-a-days. A lot of AMD/Intel folks have been moving to communications startups.

Nonetheless, it is tough to ignore the realities of the PC biz. AMD can't afford to leave the chipset effort to VIA. Something needs to be done here.
