Intel 3 years compounded sales growth rate is 30% and it's trading at a PE of 35 and ATI growth rate is 47% and it's trading at a PE of 21, so i guess it's normal for Intel to go down when growth slows.JMO MArc

BTW, AMDs gain is in the retail sector only. Next year Sony will thrust the sword into Intel with the PSX2. -------- PlayStation will feature a microprocessor co-developed by Toshiba, providing motion picture-quality images. It will also be able to play movies and music stored on DVD discs. The next generation console will have a data-processing capability several times more powerful than a Pentium III PC. "We take aim at the stranglehold on the chip/operating system market enjoyed by the Intel-Microsoft alliance," a Sony executive said. He added that major battles will shift from spreadsheets, e-mail or other business-related areas to home entertainment systems fusing games, movies and music. The new microprocessor will allow users to handle nearly 50 times more 3D image data compared with Sega's Dreamcast. It will also let users produce game characters comparable in image quality to Walt Disney's Toy Story. CL The thing I find interesting is that it seems AMD is putting the pricing screws to Intel, not vice-versa. Thinking about graphics cards, I would think it's ATI keeping the pressure on their competition, if not in pricing, then in volumes, features, and quality. Also, I think that maybe the extra pressure from AMD will delay or distract Intel's plans in the graphics sector. Anyone else???
