Chic, Milo

I think you have both got it wrong. Itanium may not be big hit like Intel had planned, but Intel is not that depended on it. Intel did not become by far and away the biggest semiconductor company in the world and it surely will not relinquish it over night. Intel dominates now and it will the next year and the years after that. Does AMD have a shot at being bigger than Intel in 15 years? Only a fool would attempt to answer that question.

I think it is simply not fair to compare AMD to Intel. AMD and its two fab will at best do limited damage to Intel in the next 5 years. So please stop it with all this iceberg titanic stuff.

I have placed my bet on AMD not because I think AMD will beat Intel, but because I think AMD's stock will outperform Intel over the next several quarters. What AMD has been able to accomplish over the last 18 months considering all the circumstance is nothing short of remarkable. But Intel is still Intel and nothing has changed in that respect.

Chic, good point. I think little attention has been given to the possible competition between Foster and Itanium. I think that it is unlikely that Itanium will actually take any market share from PA-RISC or SPARC, much less POWER or Alpha, SI doesn't count any more. So that only leaves Intel which now has the Foster...
