Niceguy, Re: "No matter how you twist it, INTC's q3 net income was $787 million, not $2 billion..." You may have a point about not considering Intel's pro-forma gains as part of their "net income". However, after these one-time acquisition related costs, Intel's "net worth" does increase, as well as future potential for greater products. On the other hand, AMD's total loss of $189 million still subtracts from their "net worth". It doesn't come back, and it doesn't increase their potential. It's simply a loss. wanna_bmw
