There is a difference between market and letting an entity crush another to a point where they can sell at prices to generate a cycle of growth that removes any chance of competition.
I like IBM and yes I want them to take AMD if it fails. But IBM is it. If it crushes intel it will be able to use the same price on X86s as their super business class Cpus. It would force the gov to do a breakup that would send shockwaves through the industry and harm stuff for a decade. Thus is the reason we must support AMD. In these super hi tech days there is simply no way a smaller entity can compete there is no mom and pop x86 fab. However, I will admit that only goes to a point. Already for advanced overclockers the Kuma is kicked to crap by the Intel 45nm. I wont ask one to support AMD by buying another 65nm if Intel drops the price again with their sub 100 dollar 45nms If they dont get a "Kuma II" AKA the same way Kumas are made except with the 45nm Phenom IIs Intel is going to crush their last remaining strongholds. |

That is what they said before they broke up At&T.
You cant call Capitalism in a situation like this. This is not who can make the better burger the tech on this costs in the billions and has been developed over decades. The competitors are small. VIA was ok before AMD and Intel went on a fast track and completely outpaced its fab. Now after doing more research I will admit IBM would have to COMPLETELY outclass Intel over a decade before Intel folds. But it is a scary situation. |
Intel trimmed the fat today, closing 5 plants and laying off 5000 people by the end of the year.
Not a shocker though, they are all old fabs, the whole industry is closing this type of fab. They just have a good reason to do it now. |
