But CRUSHING AMD is the best way for Intel to prosper

...responding to Dan...

And that will make you feel better? You don't get it, do you. Investing is about making money, not defeating competitive companies.

Crushing AMD, which has been nipping away at Intel's markets and margins, is the best _longterm_ way for Intel to get ASPs back up.

This was the strategy a while back with the "CRUSH Program," which all of us at Intel were involved with. And this is likely the strategy now.

-- use the downturn to drive ASPs down, while also aggressively ramping production

-- proliferate designs at all ends, forcing AMD and TMTA to spread their resources too thinly

-- drive AMD and TMTA out of markets

I applaud Intel. The free ride for AMD and TMTA is over.

(TMTA is below $5 now. I guess they have perfected "value morphing.")
