Joey,

In the interest of fairness here:

maxwell, with all that market share, it's sad that AMD can't make any money.

Intel has a big advantage over AMD that not many people see to realize or acknowledge. That is their historic market dominance. It has enabled them to build MANY fabs which minizes yeild problems, it allows them to get better prices for just about everything and so on. Not to mention the huge amount of cash they have on the books that they can burn through for things like stock repurchases (from employees, so really if you wanna look at it this way: salaries (ok, bonuses)).

Now this could end up hurting Intel one day, but I doubt it. Intel's shear size probably nets them a 6-10% savings on all equipment and supplies.. that's a 6-10% that falls right through to the bottom line.

Steve
