Sgolds -

I think you are confusing manufacturing cost with the total cost to run a company.

Maybe he is but remember the discussion was about whether or not Intel could kill off AMD if they wanted to. That gets down to cashflow and Intel could easily do it, if they wanted to. The question is would it be in their best interests? AMD keeps Intel from possible anti-trust action and that's worth the annoyance.

"Do you really think that, if Intel got rid of all their other divisions..."

So tell me about this "cost per employee" metric, if you're such a financial genius on Intel.
