Re: "Let's see, so they save, what, $5? on (at full ramp) say 150,000 CPUs per week - Why, that FAB will pay for itself in only 32 years!" Making a complete fool of yourself again? Why don't you re-think that dipsh-t argument again.

Dell Needs AMD ? Not likely ! biz.yahoo.com Wednesday June 20, 3:01 am Eastern Time Dell CEO would like 40 pct PC mkt share HELSINKI, June 20 (Reuters) - The world's largest personal computer maker Dell (NasdaqNM:DELL - news) sees the current weak market as a chance to boost its global market share, possibly up to 40 percent, its chief executive was quoted as saying on Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT ``We are now more competitive than ever, and we have a 13 percent market share. We would one day like to have 40 percent... To rise to that would be a greater challenge than from zero to 13 (percent),'' Chief Executive Michael Dell was quoted as saying in business daily Taloussanomat. ``The industry's recovery will not bring growth to everyone... This is the time for the strong to get stronger and the weak to get weaker,'' he was quoted as saying. Dell became the world's largest PC maker in the first quarter with a 12.8 percent global market share. But like other tech firms it is feeling the bite of the slowing global economy, with the U.S. PC market contracting in the first quarter. The firm said last week it did not see any signs of recovery in the market until the fourth quarter. Dell's comments were made during a brief visit to Finland. where he met with management at the world's largest mobile phone maker Nokia , which has said it aims for a 40 percent share of the global handset market. Nokia is also feeling the effects of the slowdown, and rocked markets last week when it warned second-quarter sales and earnings would be well below its previous forecasts.
