Intel Corp (INTC)

[chipguy]

Underestimating the competition is a really dumb thing to do. Only the paranoid survive. You don't sound paranoid.

I have been following the computer and microprocessor industries since
the 1970's. In the 60's and 70's IBM utterly dominated computing. Now
they are a bit player. The same fate may await Intel some day.

Now listen very carefully biosbob. Here is the clue that you obviously
so sorely lack. IBM was not done in by Amdahl making cheap software
compatible knock-offs of their mainframes. The competition came from
entirely different architectures, platforms, and business models.

Intel should be paranoid. But AMD is the very least of its worries. If
and when Intel is reduced to a bit player in computing it sure the f***
won't be AMD doing it with cheap softwate compatible knock-offs of its
x86 processors. Now run along kid, go chase some Zen moonbeams
or something.
