Re: "This on revenues of $7.61 Billion. Not too many corporations are able to turn an after-tax net of 27%. If you're not an Intel stockholder, this statistic is absolutely OBSCENE...only obtainable because of the defacto monopoly. (No, I'm not a Commie pinko, and I don't really care at this late stage if they did invent the darned thing).

We need our AMD (or else who?) to be our champion against this MONOPOLISTIC GOUGING. "

You have your AMD. Intel is not responsible for the incompetence of it's competition. The shareholders (and I will soon become one) are responsible for allowing Jerry to continue his pathological vendetta against a foe who just can't be beaten.

dan - Re: "only obtainable because of the defacto monopoly."

AMD sold 5.5 million CPUs and you claim Intel has a monopoly.

In once respect you are right - Intel has a monopoly on PROFITS.
