Morrowinder, > But I really don't see room for another big player.

Mas has a point for once.

It's not that Abu Dhabi sees an unfulfilled market opportunity here. It's just that they see a future beyond oil, and they just want to be a player in it, even if it means going down the same trail that's already been traveled by Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and lately China.

One thing is for sure, though. I don't think AMD will ever be the same threat they once posed to Intel. Instead, they might become the next Via, and I don't think that's exactly what Mas or other AMD cheerleaders had in mind.
