I agree, DiB, but that doesn't mean they morph into a King. They remain a Gorilla, saunter down Main Street, generate piles of cash, and keep their eyes open for the opportunity to buy into another Tornado market.

Your statement that Intel does not morph into a king presumes they have some proprietary lock. They gave away far too much in the broad license granted AMD. True, they don't morph into a king; they always have been a king of the (now very uninteresting) PC chip market.

Almost 20 years later, IBM is still looking for its next tornado. But unlike Intel, at least IBM was a gorilla at one time.
