the answer seems to be Intel promotes trashing their competitors. Just wonder who takes the fall if it hits the fan?

Intel can in no way control the private actions of it's employees any more than AMD can. There are undoubtedly a number of AMD employees posting here, they're just not willing to admit it for whatever reason. Anyone can claim to be associated with either company and make statements but how does that make the company responsible?

All I know is that Intel had every intention of keeping x86 alive in 1999 and beyond. I don't know what they wished, wanted, pined, bet on, or hoped. I do know they had roadmaps showing x86 and if their customers wanted x86 they would continue it. As I said to mas, it is impossible to change the minds of anyone.
