Combjelly, Re: "Now you may claim that people are willing to pay more for a less reliable and lower spec'd product because it has Intel's name on it"

I think it's time you moved past your naive comparison here. With flash, there isn't a "best" technology, yet. Different technologies offer different advantages, and all have their own set of disadvantages - that's why you sell different flash to different products. I'm sure AMD will do well once they improve their production lines, but you shouldn't believe that AMD's Mirror-bit flash is all it's cracked up to be until you see their product.

Re: ". The question is how profitable will Intel's flash be when AMD can price their product at the same, or even lower level as Intel's, and have better specifications? "

You keep speculating about future developments that may never occur.

Face it - Intel is the preeminent supplier of Flash memory - and they are doing much better than AMD.
