Frank Re <<meaning no disrespect, is that AMD people are used to pie-in-the-sky earnings predictions from management, while Intel people are used to more subdued prognostications from their management.>>

Oh please!

Do you think AMD share holders do not own any other stock and thus are ignorant about how this estimated game works? I am sure I can speak for most in saying that we own other companies and are well aware on how this game works.

the PERCEPTION of Intel having missed numbers the last two quarters is largely due to the fact that the guidance was only MET and not EXCEEDED, as in most prior quarters.

Frank, that may be yours and Intel's perception but I assure you that all the countless thousands of people who work on Wall Street perceive that Intel missed consensus estimates for 2 quarters. Its very black and white...there is no grey.
