Bentway, Intel is a producer of commodity silicon. Commodities are products that are: a) Usually produced and sold by many different companies, and b) Is uniform between the companies that produce them. You cannot tell the difference between one company's product and another. Intel's bread-n-butter x86 processors are hardly commodities. Who else makes x86 processors? AMD? They're a shadow of their former selves. No one except bargain-basement hunters wants their product. What was the last surprise Intel sprung on the tech world? I can't recall any. The top three innovative companies, according to Forbes, are Salesforce.com, Alexion Pharma, and VMWare. Can you recall any "surprises" that they sprung recently? Didn't think so. Tenchusatsu
