Intel Corp (INTC)

[imho]

smooth2o,

Do you detect any change in Intel procedure now that Bruce is gone?

My take on Bruce's move to Apple. While the negative side views this as Bruce jumping a faltering ship, let's not forget the positive side. Seems like Apple sees itself as a target of future antitrust and EU-like witch hunts and figures Bruce has guided Intel to a potential win, therefore they grabbed him when they could.

As for changes, I get the feeling Intel has become more inclined to take on AMD in the court of public opinion recently. Not sure if this was a point of discourse that may have led to his departure.

IMHO
