Paul, Re: <<Everything is now fair game>>

Tonight I re-read an article I had bookmarked early last year; and for those looking for a clearer picture of Intel's driving forces behind their plans for the future, I am reposting the url here. The article is from Fortune's February 17, 1997 edition and is entitled INTEL'S AMAZING PROFIT MACHINE. Although the numbers are a year old now, the basic conclusions of the article are still valid and bear keeping in mind by all long-term and would-be long-term Intel investors. Short-term investors need not bother - better to just keep trying to predict short term perceptions.

In the past five years, CEO Andy Grove has redefined his company,
transforming it from a maker of chips into an industry leader. The
result: Intel is poised for another five years of explosive growth.
===================================

BTW, it's interesting to note that this article said that the top of the line at that time were 200mhz PPros. How soon we forget considering 450mhz chips will be available one month from now.

Just found another interesting tidbit for the interested:

Nokia has AMD's 486 processor in their new 9110 Communicator.
The previous 9000 model had Intel 386.

I know this communicator is not a big volume phone (so far). But it's Nokia's flagship and a very innovative product indeed.

So why AMD instead of Intel ?
Comments, please.
