Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

INTC had the ability to win fair and square. No need to look for proprietary solutions. INTC had the best designs, best manufacturing processes, all the capacity in the world, the best marketing and all the money in the world. Exactly what was it that INTC also needed to compete fairly with AMD.

Most of the time AMD was just a one trick pony with almost no support within the industry. Without a doubt if INTC had decided to compete fairly they could have easily kept AMD on life support, maybe even tossing a few $ AMD's way when it appeared it was going bankrupt. But no INTC opted for the easy proprietary solution and made gobs of money but sacrificed its' future.

As I said INTC is run by people that can't see past the tips of their noses. Any competent management could have easily prevented AMD from becoming the competitor it is today given INTC's resources compared to AMD's.
