Ted, <INTC is slashing prices to hold onto share and its killing AMD. Like I said on the Mod thread, in times like these, INTC gets a cold and AMD gets the flu.>

This is the minority viewpoint on the Mod thread. There, they pretend that every time there's a price war, Intel loses more in absolute revenue than AMD, simply because Intel has more to lose. The relative shortfalls in revenue suggest otherwise.

Anyway, I'm no fan of relativism. Looking at AMD only, revenues have dropped by 33% from Q1 to Q2. PC sales surely did not fall by 33% in the same time period, no matter how bad it is out there. There are some real problems going on at AMD, and if I were a shareholder or an employee, I'd want answers.

Meanwhile, Sanders can still find the money to fund his $2.5M ego-trip at his alma mater. This while real engineers either get laid off, or crippled in their ability to work (due to reduced R&D).
