Bill, Re: "The most sognificant aspect of that 10:1 ratio is Intel has litle to show for it since it is yielding fewer patents than AMD for 10 times the cost. Intel has lost it's way." Nonsense, Bill. Getting patents is a real nice thing to brag about, but simply looking at the number of patents doesn't give you any information to the quality of the patents, or whether the company can effectively implement them. Look at the companies that have filed greater numbers of patents compared to AMD, over the past few years. www3pub.amd.com Has gaining more patents helped Lucent? finance.yahoo.com Has it helped NEC? finance.yahoo.com Has it helped Motorola? finance.yahoo.com Edit: Besides, Intel still continues to grow in patents year over year at a rate of about 5%. That's stable growth as far as a large company is concerned, and they still happen to be in the top-20 consistantly year after year. Saying that they have lost their way is a gross exaggeration. wbmw
