Exactly the point.Everything--( almost)-- turns into commodity items in time ---if you can't innovate you need to copy and take the low % margin and do it well till all the juice is gone.You completely missed the mark if you think TI is not a high volume producer.I will not list all the items that they have lead the world in but a few are ICs,power transistors,silicon transistors ,mos,home computers,calculators ,speech chips electronic watches and so on-------their slogan is create ,make and market ---the weakness was market but now they are world class in all three steps -------since they have been trying to move out of drams for the last 2 years they are not the leader in this commodity business. If you think they can only innovate -----hide and watch!!!
