Scumbria, Re: They have a strong competitor who is eating steadily away at their core business. But a big portion of it is subsidized by its creditor and investor. Now their HQ has gone, what would be next in line for more cash to further eating away Intel's business ? >Intel's management is showing signs of panic I respect your technical expertise but managing a successful MP company seems to be the area that Intel's current management is good at(try to ask IBM, Motorola, DEC, MIPS and see if they would be glad if they can manage their MP as good as Intel).

Scumbria, >>AMD's Fast Ramp up<< I believe Intel's ramp up is more impressive. On top of that, Intel's products leave more design margin than AMD's. For example, I could easily overclock my P-II/450 to 500MHz without a glitch. Meanwhile, even running a K6-2/333 at 333MHz sometimes presents problems. This is purely my observation and absolute truth --- no hype or anything. Hell, I was even more of an AMD investor than these gripers on this thread who have more consumers' interest in mind than shareholders'. >>Intel's Management Showing Signs of Panic<< Whether this is true or not, I can tell you that last quarter Intel reduced the price of Celeron chips so much that all investors were surprised by a very healthy margin. Meanwhile, AMD shipped a lot of K6's for a losing cause. Either Intel's management is panicking or not, AMD's management still cannot execute competently to save their lives. Time Traveler
