"Anyway, ticking off those milestones, one at a time (or two with 300 mm?). If Intel keeps nailing schedules and that other company doesn't, it'll pay off extremely well down the road. It also helps keep another "Dell rumor" at bay. Dell, with their JIT model, doesn't need a "mainly always late" supplier."

Over on Mani's Mind Control AMD thread, the droids are claiming that Intel is not actually profitable, that Intel is using "accounting tricks" to show its tens of billions in profits over the past decades.

Several of the mind controllers are calling for "SEC investigations."

They figure their company would be shown to be larger and more profitable than Intel were these "accounting tricks" to stop.

No doubt Dell, which can't count on timely deliveries of AMD's announced products, will be comforted to hear that the many tens of milliions of Intel CPUs they've shipped were "accounting ghosts."

But if this kind of self-delusion keeps the droids happy, I'm all for it. _Someone_ has to keep writing those losing options!
