Dan, how many times has AMD copied Intel?
They copied the x86 ISA.
They copied MMX, SSE, and SSE-2.
They copied lower CPU power states, stop grant, halt, and sleep.
They hope to copy strained silicon and FD SOI.
Not to mention that they leveraged CPU design expertise, including Hypertransport, from Alpha.
They leveraged DDR memory capability from Jedec.
They leveraged copper manufacturing from Motorola.
They leveraged SOI manufacturing from IBM.
They leveraged embedded design from Alchemy and National.
They leveraged flash design from Saifun and Fujitsu.
Is anything from AMD actually original? Or are they the parasites of the computer industry with a fanbase of diehard fanatics to egg them on?
Remember that Jerry himself admits that AMD is good at using other people's money.
