Kash, <Why not an AMD brand.> That would piss off some OEMs big time. IMHO, not worth the risk. <I doubt if there's enough money for another tier.> Don't know about that. Second tier brands seem to be doing OK by getting into bed with large retail outlets. I don't expect these guys to break into big leagues but have a place in the ecosystem feeding off the tiny niches they see. The whole business is probably not much but at the volume level AMD operates, even the guy standing 20th in market share cannot be ignored. <Lets see if they can do something innovative.> Yes, I agree. They seem to have come up with a nice product-idea that seems saleable. The marketing needs to show some creativity to make something big out of it. Chuck
