Paul, True and the 8088 would still be king. When Intel was alone in the market place, observe that price/time decline with family/speed supercessions and construct an analog without AMD or cyrix and i am sure prices would have declined so that Intel did not make $38 billion, but did make somewhat more than $2 billion. This is the result of AMD's presence, to the degree that you can generate an isolated universe that way. Intel would have cut prices anyway to make space for it's own products and to expand the market at the lower end as a trainig/gathering ground for the higher end to be next into. I am sure many other makers in the field see this and will keep giving market share to AMD. Best bet for AMD, sell to IBM IMO, as it is unable to soldier on. If the K7 lives up to Intel's fears then Intel will give CPUs away until Debt charges kill AMD, or maybe for a buck or two more. Bill
