Intel Shipped 1 Billionth Computer Chip

murat submitted linkage to a simple little story that proclaims that Intel has recently shipped it's One Billionth Chip. Quite an impressive accomplishment... it took them 25 years to reach the billions, but they estimate that they will hit 2 billion by only 2007.

Bubba asks about the /. Culture

[Arbogast_II]

Am I imagining it, or is it socially unacceptable to say good things about the "Powers That Be" in the IT industry in certain /. circles???

Now, I have bought many AMD powered PCs, use Linux alot for getting work done, but think Windows is excellent (MS may be dirty dealing, but that's beside my point), and you gotta be blind not to realize Intel has made a gazillion excellent chips, even if like myself, you chose cheaper alternatives.

It just seems like there are some creepy "Thought Police" types around here anytime something positive is said about corporations like Intel and MS..

PS, I buy AMD and VIA CPU's cause they are cheap and work, not cause Intel "sux"...
