Paul,

And the complexity and SHORT LIFE SPAN of a graphics chip, coupled with the "consumer price points" means SLIM to NONE in the margins/profits department

The professional graphics market, which Lawrence was referring to, has quite nice margins.

Those same cheap transistors, which are used to put pointlessly large L2 caches on Intel desktop processors, can be used much more efficiently in a graphics design.
