So, what's this guy smoking again? Last time I looked, it was Intel trying hard (and falling on its face) trying to "close the gap" with AMD. Not the other way around. The issue is mainly one of pride. For the first time in a decade, AMD has closed the gap in terms of processor speeds now that it is getting good yields on its own 1-Gig chip. And what about this BS: However, being successful in the microprocessor market is no longer just about having the fastest chips (as it was in the 1980's and early 90's), it's also about having the supporting chipsets, motherboards, and marketing clout Last time I looked, Intel's chipset market share dropped from the 90's to below 50% these days. That doesn't sound like they are being too successful there either. I guess there is a lot of money to be protected that is invested in Intel. (about ~400billion worth). TG (in a cynical mood)
