Constantine, Intel has challenges, just like any other company. And guess what - when Intel screws up, most people here tend to recognize it. MCH, 1.13GHz Pentium III, Rambus - some of the AMDroids get some kind of sick enjoyment out of rehashing these things over and over again, but the folk here never deny that Intel was responsible in any case. Intel is also heavily influenced by the economy, and by customer demand. You can take a quick look at Intel's financials between 2000 and 2001 to confirm this. Again, no one here claims Intel to be impervious to harsh conditions. However, one of the favorite past times of an AMDroid is to exaggerate Intel's problems, or make Intel's problems look like huge advantages to AMD. It's likely we'll never see eye-to-eye when it comes to that. And don't tell me that everything is just a big misunderstanding, either. The more honest AMDroids have admitted repeatedly that they prefer to cheer for the underdog. The more belligerent AMDroids just like to put out flame-bait and troll around because they have nothing better to do, or they have something personal with others on this forum. Trust me that while the state of the semiconductor market is dynamic, it doesn't tend to vary by large margins. Most of this stability comes from a market whose share is vastly owned by a single party. Intel does have the majority market share, and some will always try to argue that Intel doesn't deserve it. But let's try not to make this personal, ok? You can believe whatever you want, but pardon some for noticing that many of your beliefs ring of the Jerrihad mantra that the "Intellabees" always talk about. This is not something that people here are imagining. AMD's CEO really has made competing with Intel into more of a game, and he won't be satisfied until his is the winning party - at any cost. As long as you deny that, you'll be missing the big picture. So again, believe what you want to, and as long as you make an effort not to throw around your opinions and call them facts, most people here probably won't have a big problem with you. If you have a big problem with people that don't agree with the way you want to world to look, then there are plenty of people in a certain moderated thread that would be more than happy to include you in their group. wbmw
