Sony using AMD chip to build PC. This is a really good news. We probably will see either DELL or Getway2000 doing some thing. One thing is very clear, that low-priced PC is trend. PC home users can not afford $2000-$3000 upgrade cost every 2-3 years, soon corp users also won't be able to afford. Because a lot of corps also have to saving money for their profit margin. This is really a good opportunity for AMD. That's why AMD can gain almost half market share in retail. Cheaper and powerful AMD k6-2 really a good news to consumers. Intel can not ask whatever price they want like before. They face competition. Be carefully about your Intel stocks if you are Intel shareholders. Because we will see more competitions in CPU industry in the next 2-3 years. Intel will be squeezed by AMD, NSM and some other small players from low-end and mid-end. This is just like what Intel did to Unix(Risc) CPU 3-5 years ago.
