The Intel-HP tandem, he said, is going to make it very difficult for other companies to build processors that are compatible with the new are architecture "What do companies like AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) and Cyrix do? It's going to be tough for them to push the x86 architecture without Intel's backing."
