Intel's cheating lawyers and sleazy marketing have been able to overcome AMD's advanced engineering - so far. Actually the culture comes from the top: Chapter 35:Inside Intel (by:Tim Jackson): Pg. 317: >>Quote from book: Long beforehe became Intel's chief executive, Andy Grove made an illuminating comment to Terry Opdendyk, the manager who had looked after the rush job of designing the 8086 chip: "Terry", he said, "fundamentally, you believe that people left to their own volition will do good and not bad. I believe that'll do bad and not good." By the end of the 1980's, the attitude that he revealed in this observation could be seen in everything Intel did. Grove was not a leader in the sense of someone who inspires hte troops from the front and relies on his own charisma to persuade them to follow. Instead, he was more like a shepherd- signalling with his crook where he wanted the flock to go, but keeping a team of dogs to bite the ankles of any sheep that strayed off in the wrong direction. <<end quote from book Telling!
