>> Rather, you might see a lot of gorilla/king hybrids, companies like Intel, TI, Cisco, and Broadcom.

Whoa! Cisco?

Who issued the hunting licenses on Silverbacks?

Please explain why you include Cisco in that group.

To continue this discussion, methinks we need to establish our perception of "which company is a G/K in WHAT SPACE".

eg,
- the points u make on INTC Vs TI/QCOM/BRCM etc are not necessarily the fields where INTC is claimed to be a gorilla.

- I believe similar analogies follow for your statement on the uncertain status of CSCO.

That's a little different. Windows is a natural monopoly. No AMD exists here (Apple doesn't count - completely different value chain).

I agree its different too :
Intel : Gorilla, AMD : Monkey
Microsoft : Gorilla, Apple : Chimp

cheers, kumar
