Re: "Because Intel made the decision to put their competitors under. That made profitable coexistence impossible." Not true again Scumbria. It was AMD who started and continues the predatory pricing policy of selling below cost. They could have priced on par with Intel but they started the price war and they continue it. EP

Sumbria, re: "That made profitable coexistence impossible." If it is truely impossible to compete with Intel, most of those of this thread would have sold out and gone home long ago. Intel surely makes things more difficult but impossible ... no. The rewards for success under the present ciurcumstances are so enormous that even a modicum of success will be richly rewarded. The supposed inverse relationship is superceded by a reality that says AMD could make more money if it did a better job. And the same is also true for Intel. Hard work is generally rewarded. If you need to find an inverse relationship, center on that simple concept. Craig
