John re:AMD has managed to screw that up for Intel do not blame amd, it's the nature of the game re:What does AMD mean? Advanced Micro Devices, maybe? :-)) AMD is gaining in brand recognition and consumer trust. In retail market, at least, "intel inside" is no longer the preferred brand. Regards -Albert

John, how can you say Intel is the low cost producer? Intel's operating income was $2.576 on sales of $8.702 in Q4, or 29.6% But, according to P.E., their ASP is $180. If they sold 32 million CPU's at AMD's average selling price of $81, then would have had operating income of negative 592 million. AMD, OTOH, made a tidy $195 on sales of $1,175 in Q4, or 16.6% of sales selling at that low ASP of $81. Now, if one company can make a profit selling CPU's at $81 and the other can't, which one would you say is the LOW COST PRODUCER? Petz
