Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

You still don't fully appreciate the world's preference for Intel chips. The Intel brand carries a $50B equity through the last couple decades of some of the industries best marketing and promotions. Centrino practically became a success overnight due to Intel's marketing brilliance, while AMD can barely market a free burger to a hungry transient. That's why Intel chips sell better than AMD, and currently why AMD isn't feeling as much demand pressure. This is the concerning the broad market, by the way, such as desktops where Intel's solution is hardly perceived as inferior by the vast majority of the world. AMD is simply selling what the market will bear at current pricing, maximizing ASPs, rather than volumes.

Me...

Living in the past again. How many worlds do you guys inhabit anyway? In case you haven't been noticing there seems to be a race to ASP parity going on. But don't let the interfere with your delusions. I will admit that INTC did a pretty good job of brain-washing the world with unlimited advertising budgets, but lately the world has been getting a message of another kind(word of mouth) from people that know what really is what.
