Re: "It seems more accurate to assume that Jerry has always simply wanted to be a player in the most lucrative "niche" of the semiconductor market, and that he has, after a decade-long string of slightly inadequate designs, been able to achieve this status." Jerry Sanders suffers from a gigantic Inferiority Complex. For 20 years, he was known as THE Marketing Wiz of SIlicon Valley - first at Fairchild, then at AMD. However, during he late 1980s' an early 1990's, Intel launched itself into not only the best semiconductor manufacturing operation in the world, but also the single best marketing company in the semiconductor industry - with it's Intel Inside ad campaign - and subsequent enormous brand recognition. Sanders gets literally hysteric in nearly every public appearance and tries to trash Intel in order to boost his own battered ego. What a joke!
