Albert,
re: if you have not noticed intel's strategies changed
How has it changed Albert? What sinister plot has Intel hatched this time?
re: what I said is so trivial yet your blind faith in intel prevents you from thinking
You said that lower gross margins were a good thing in a tough economy, that's not "trivial", that's revolutionary. I would love to hear your explanation!
re: again it is a matter of definition.
Yes it is. The standard economic definition of productivity, be it national or company specific, is revenue (output) per employee. To put a fine point on it, AMD's (TTM) is $263,723, Intel's $308,235.
re: no that was when intel assumed that market would never accept athlon and therefore no competitive response is needed. I bet you think that that was the right decision
No, that was when Intel couldn't meet market demand because they had under invested in capacity during the previous downturn. They left the door open to AMD to gain share, admittedly with an excellent product. It's a mistake Intel is not likely to repeat, as you can see from Intel's recent investments.
Albert, it sounds like sour grapes from you, because AMD can't or won't invest in capacity. You would prefer that Intel just stand still. When you say it's bad for Intel and the industry, I think you really mean it's bad for AMD. And I wouldn't argue with that.
