Welcome to Intel "Platformisation" Strategy
1. Develop new commodity wireless chip
2. Pair it up with latest Intel Mobile Processor
3. Come up with catchy name (Maxtrino)
4. Serious profit
(Note stage 3 has no question marks)
Except that AMD could quite easily license fab capacity from people such as IBM, who make a considerable amount producing chips designed by other people
Can you see the contradiction in this sentence? IBM would make lots of money making AMDs chip, so AMDs profit level per chip is lower than Intels. Intels Fab don't take the profit, it goes to the whole company.
People think AMD is Intel's biggest threat - WRONG! Samsung is, they are the only one with a similar Fab capability, even though the two companies operate in largely different product segments.
ere are the nuts and bolts of the monopoly: The actual design doesn't matter too much, it is the manufacturing capability that keeps Intel ahead
If AMD came out with 64-core, 10 GHz processor that comsumed 1 watt tomorrow, and everyone decided to buy it, AMD would NOT be able to supply more than there current market share because they only have one Fab in Germany
Intel has ten fabs and ten times the capaciy.
It's not about who has a better product, it's about ability to supply that keeps Intel monopoly going

It's not about choice, it about ability to supply that keeps Intel monopoly going
Isn't this supposed to be a site where nerds like myself can discuss the various attribute on AMD and Intel Processors, or SCO's latest unix shennaniggans.
However, when a thread about North Koreas nuclear policy starts, it's flooded with over 1500 comment, more than any other today.
When did slashdot turn into FreeRepublic of DU??
You mean IBM taking over APPLE?
If the Cell architecture could spread from consoles into "digital home" PCs and then onto all PC's.
The IBM iMac Cell coming to stores soon!!
Where is Intel eh?
IBM recently sold off it's PC business. Hmmmm, no point in competing it;s own Cell Architecture.
Is this IBM trying to take over the PC market again with a few sneaky consoles are a wedge in the door?
Also, Graduate students at MLE hasd to get their degrees awarded from a local universities (UCD, Trinity etc...), not MIT
Why would a local university want to award degrees the students at MLE when they had there own students to look after. Ridiculous
Anyone every read Nicholas Neagroponte book, digital something or other, biggest load of stating the obvious crap ever
When computer chess programs beat humans, their depth of strategy outplays the humans. The actual moves themselves have no flair or art.
So when a striker creates a miraculous goal, it's not so much his strategy that makes it brilliant but the art in executing it.
And like of these computer versus human competitions, be it chess or football, the computers aren't beating humans, a machine programmed by humans is beating humans. No matter who wins, humans win..... until the robots gain conciousness and take over the world
(sorry couldn't help it, watched that new battlestar galactica at the weekend)

Imagination Technologies, creator of the PowerVR mobile graphics accelerators, are another successful IP company along the lines of ARM

Having your own Fabs is the key.
You will notice my second processor put a NOT in it's text, the first processor must have overheated

Each bus costs almost 2 million dollars and probably contains enough explosive hydrogen to send one of the passengers into orbit
