Intel Corp (INTC)

[imho]

Professor MD,

They assume that whey are joining AMD in their fight against Intel. Actually they are starting a war with China, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan.

You are correct. Abu Dabi has not joined with AMD, unlike someone as biased and shortsighted as Mas, thinks.

Abu Dabi, took 56% of AMD, and joined it to the 44% that remained. Duh!

In other words, "nothing from nothing, leaves nothing".

Still to be determined are:

1) The reaction from the foundries, as you point out.
2) Intel's reaction
3) Various government agency reactions
4) Western consumer backlash (re. products associated with Arab coutnries)
5) The cultural clash of the various entities (Germans, Arabs, Americans ) involved.
6) Intel's simply has better technology and products.
7) The lawsuit can still throw a monkey wrench in all of this.

IMHO
