pm: <<China's PC market alone will be close to today's US market in the next 5-10 years. Even if it's remotely true, we are talking about tens of millions of CPU growth in that period.>> No doubt about unit shipment potential in China. If I recall correctly, about 8 millions pc shiped in Mainland China last year. Conservtive forcast going forward for annual unit growth is at least in middle 40s. One of the major catalysts for QCOM's gigantic run-up last year was when China agreed to use Qcom's CDMA technology. China did wonders for Qcom last year. To reverse JFK's saying a bit: "don't ask what Intel(note) can do for China, ask what AMD can do for my homeland!" Note: It was reported that China banned government agencies (so far the largest user group) to use PIII due to PIN feature.
