Kevin, <So far this year, Intel has underperformed the NASDAQ. I'm not impressed.> It amazes me so much to see how this dual standard is pretty much the norm here on the AMD thread. Like it's a fact of life that Intel must be judged on higher standards than AMD. Now a dual standard is perfectly acceptable if AMD only aimed to become a niche provider. But as we all know, thanks to good 'ole Jerry Sanders, AMD's continuing mission is to catch up to or surpass Intel in every aspect (performance, production, marketing, investment return, etc.). So if AMD is aiming to become the next 800 lb. gorilla, why judge it on the standards of a 25 lb. monkey? (And you'll notice that I even resisted the temptation to put a link to the standard-issue comparison chart between INTC and AMD.) Tenchusatsu

>>So far this year, Intel has underperformed the NASDAQ. I'm not impressed.<< You are absolutely correct. Intel is only up 30.7% YTD. No reason to be impressed. Especially when compared to AMD's LOSS of 26% YTD. Who is blowing hot air??
