Burt,
great post.

I believe something has changed at AMD for the better and something has changed at Intel for the worse.

These trends will not change overnight. I think AMD can continue what it has started and unfortunately, Intel will take some time to turn itself around. If Intel recognizes the mistakes it has made.

Did Intel gamble they could fix the 820/Rambus problem before the deadline and told DELL and others to "continue-we will take care of it before the deadline"?

I think practically nothing being said about Coppermine yesterday is a good start for Intel. They need to return to worrying about Intel and not AMD.

We will all have to wait.

But then again, the FTC/DOJ isn't going to do anything with Microsoft, so I don't think they would do anything with Intel buying AMD. Intel could sneeze and AMD wouldn't exist anymore.
