Re: <And one more thing. AMD is a bare bones operation with 13k employees. They have been around for a long time, surviving on slim or no profits. To survive a total war in the falling ASPs environment, Intel will have layoff 30% to 40% of the 64k employees. Especially those, who are not directly involved in building, designing and selling CPUs.>

Since we're into doomsday scenarios, don't forget Intel's strength in corporate and especially in servers where AMD has close to zero market share. As for laying off 30% to 40% of the 64K employees (isn't it >64K?) it is very, very unlikely that this would ever be necessary but if it were necessary, Intel would do it. Are you aware that in 1984 Intel went into hard times and cut employment and didn't get back to the previous level for EIGHT years?
