re: You tell me which company is priced to exceed expectations

Intel's PE is significantly lower, no doubt aboyt it. But you can not make the same statement about future expectations.

P=sum[exp((yield - interest + growth - risk_premium)t)]

you have to make an assumption of growth and risk. Risk_Premium is higher for AMD but so is growth rate. If amd's (growth - risk_premium) is higher than intel's (growth - risk_premium) then higher PE for AMD would be justified.

re: Even Hector Ruiz promised to beat expectations by saying, "We like to underpromise and overachieve."

Growth rate and risk_premium for an individual company is a matter of perception. Hector is trying to lower the perception of riskiness of AMD.

just my 2c

ps I have recently bought into Intel so I am rooting for both companies

AMD is currently trading at 27.7 times estimated earnings for 2006. INTC is currently trading at 16.6 times estimates earnings for 2006.

A forward P/E of 27.7 is hardly "dot.com" level.
