I can not for the life of me see how INTC went from a gorilla to king. There has been no discontinuous innovation to replace theirs in the arena we they achieved the gorilla advantage and participated in recurring tornados (32-bit desktop CPU and motherboard).

The issue is not what discontinuous innovation displaced Intel's gorilla status. The issue is whether Intel was ever a gorilla to begin with. It licensed is technology to AMD, thereby giving away a lock on it CPU technology.

Many will agree with you that there has been no discontinuous innovation. The question is whether it was ever a gorilla to begin with.

It was a king that benefitted for years from having AMD--the gang that couldn't shoot straight--as its licensee.
