Gary Ng, re: How come Intel is an exception?
Are they really? Look at the prices of PIII. Look at Year to Year revenue growth. (I think they would easily have had greater than $30 Billion revenues in ‘98 if it weren't for competition). Intel has the bucks, fab capacity and marketing to insure large profits. But wouldn't it have been larger? The PC segment is a true commodity business now. Servers appear to be the key to growth.

INTC has other chips (video and such) so they don't rely on the CPU's entirely. This may be why they are not dropping their earnings.
