Thread: For what their worth, Business Week published the following comments on Intel in a forecast for the chip and semiconductor business in '98. First the link: businessweek.com The Intel-specific paras: "Also caught by the tug-of-war between cheap PCs and high-end systems is Intel Corp. The giant is raking in cash from its near-monopoly in PC processors, but analysts expect earnings growth to taper to just 11% in 1998--far below the past five years. The company has a two-prong strategy to keep profits up: churning out high volumes of cheaper Pentium IIs to fend off rivals on the low end and pampering power users with superfast designs that rev up to 450 megahertz. "Intel knows its competitors are tougher than ever. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) is rapidly scaling up production of its K6 chip, a Pentium II alternative that sells for one-quarter the price. AMD has won over such top vendors as IBM and Compaq Computer Corp., which plan to use the chip. If AMD makes good on its production goals, it could snag more than 10% of the PC-processor market in 1998. Then there's National Semiconductor Corp., which aims to harness the processor technology it got last year by buying Cyrix Corp. to create ''system-on-a-chip'' devices that cram all the functionality of a PC into a single sliver of silicon. These products aren't imminent in 1998, so National will bide its time by selling Cyrix' popular Pentium rival, the MediaGX." Starowl
