Re: Client segment.

If you go back in your chart, and AMD had nearly $700m operating profit in client segment at one point. That was based on revenue that was 300m higher. Now we are at $276 operating profit, and in good position to regain that old level of profitability.

Intel is simply not going to be in position to dump / staff channel. Intel's current CPUs have higher cost than AMD CPUs, and old Raptor is becoming radioactive. Nobody will want to touch it.
