Saturn: <<Intel's stance towards AMD will also change if Dresden is sold. The potential capacity of Dresden is perceived by Intel as a sword dangling over its head.>>

Appreciate your honesty!

<<Intel does not want to drive AMD completely out of business [ or else it will have to cope with the US Government ],

Maybe the other part of truth is that AMD is harder to kill.

<<and it will be happy to see a less threatening AMD. So the brutal price war would cool down, further benefiting both sides.>>

Seriously, all things will be much, much more controlable bwtween AMD and Intel if Tom Dunlop's team can torpedo Cyrix/Via deal.
