Dan - Re:"can you estimate a percentage of Intel's profits that are from its CPU/Chipset/Motherboard business? "

Currently, this may be in the 95 to 98% range - profit-wise.

Intel has a major effort to expand in to other segments, notably the data communications market which is growing - albeit from a small base.

Futher, Intel is establishing totally new business segments as witnessed by their Data Center/Server Farm initiative which is starting to take "physical" shape.

Another near-totally neglected "segment" is Intel's venture capital fund, which now is valued at SEVERAL BILLIONS of dollars - and GROWING.

Re: "I'd point out that Intel is a $27 billion dollar that's presently valued by the market at $236 billion while
AMD is a $2.5 Billion dollar company presently valued by the market at $2.5 Billion."

Yep - that shows how the "market" respects PROFITS - and has unkind things to "say" about money-losing ventures, which AMD has been for 4 straight years .
