"Some might say that Intel invented and evolved the market. But that would be a compliment rather than an insult. And insults is really what this thread is about" John: I agree. It seems there is nothing good left to say about AMD as they are in deep stuff. So this has now become the all Intel all the time thread. CG

John no one in their right mind, short of completely brainwashed intelabees, would ever say or imply that the market was invented by intel. If anyone can take credit that would be apple and ibm. Regards -Albert

Some might say that Intel invented and evolved the market i think IBM invented the market and msft evolved it. intel did just what any other company would've done (as mot did with 68010, 20, 30 etc). if ibm didn't select 8088 and msft didn't keep the rights to dos to sell to other people, intel might have been a failure as it tired to switch from dram to programmable chips.

John, RE:"Some might say that Intel invented and evolved the market. But that would be a compliment rather than an insult. And insults is really what this thread is about." Kind of seems odd that someone would feel insulted because someone made a statement, certainly not an insult, about a company they owned stock in. But...I guesss that's the way it is here. I don't think you nor I take all this quite so seriously as some. I suppose what I was refering to was Intel wanting to control the direction of chip technology/architecture so they can be there firsy and "lead"...Of course there is no profit motive there, lol. After Rambus, I'm surprised some of the followers aren't more suspect, not to mention most of what Intel has stadardized has been pretty good and they have known when and when not to give it away for free.
