"Intel's superior product offerings and its brand name were enough to justify price premiums with OEMs, given AMD's reliably poor execution in the past. However, AMD's recent step up in the performance (and yields) game, along with the growing number of supporting chipsets and motherboards (indicating the industry's increasing acceptance of AMD's products) have now put Intel and AMD essentially neck-and-neck in the processor performance arena, diminishing Intel's traditional leverage."

Knee jerk market reaction is that if the environment is "bad" for INTC, it must be really bad for AMD...WRONG!!! 150 million microprocessors will be sold in Y2001 of which AMD, owing to relatively small size and performance and pricing advantages are positioned to gain market share even in a flat or declining general market...As well, and not unimportantly, AMD has not had to lean on an investment portfolio to prop up earnings over the past year, a practice, which if a weak Nas persists, may expose yet another vulnerability of its major competitor!!!
