Mani - Re: " Since AMD stopped being a clone CPU maker, they have been increasing market share and decreasing the performance gap"

I think you got that wrong on BOTH counts !

In the 386 days, AMD had about 30% market share, their 386-40 was faster than Intel's best (33 MHz).

Plus they were PROFITABLE !

So today, they are BEHIND Intel in performance, their market share is about 16% (NOT the 20% you claim) and they are losing money faster than a drunken sailor in port on a Saturday night.
