Let's see now. Of course I don't have a business degree or anything..... If I couldn't produce enough chips for all the different computer manufacturers, I would supply processors to one computer company. If all the computer manufacturers have this problem with Intel, they would jump to be exclusive with AMD. Then, you know if all AMD's processors are so superior, everybody would start buying that one brand of computer. Then AMD's revenue would go up, and they could finally invest in more fab sites (like what Intel has done).
But no, they would rather invest in lawyers, instead of fab sites. Or, they would rather have handouts like what they did in the early years (from Intel).
Give me a break, this isn't rocket science....
Oh come on, instead of crying, why doesn't AMD offer the same incentives as Intel. If they were so superior, they should be able to say use our processers exclusivity and we will offer them at a better price (or a rebate). Since they don't, either they don't feel that they can compete, or they want to take an easier way to make money (get a handout from Intel). Obviously, it's easier to cry "foul" then to try to compete against a better team.
