Goutama,

If I were Intel, I would be scared silly of AMD getting a high stock price. Let's assume Wall street falls in love with AMD and in six months AMD is trading between 900-1000 per share. AMD could issue 2 million new shares (only about 1% dilution), and quick as you can say "BAM!" AMD is taking the wrapping paper off a brand new fab.

A high share price gives a company interest free access to capital.

What would happen to Intel if Athlon/Mustang is about the same performance as Willy, Sledgehammer is faster, and AMD built half a dozen new mega-fabs?

Mike
