wbmw, actually what I meant was look how long it took them (AMD and Intel) to get to 1 GHz. It took years to get out of the 15, 25, 50 MHz machines and up to 1 GHz. Once AMD took the 1 GHz performance crown, Intel made it a priority to catch up. If AMD didn't exist the Intel ramp to 1.5 GHz machines may still be occurring. If AMD ceased to exist, I think Intel would invalidate any cross-license. The barriers to entry of the CPU market are very high especially without the patent,license, or IP to make the chip. In the earlier days AMD has survived many years of crappy execution and crappy products. I don't think they are going away any time soon.
