    We need every competitor in the cpu market. If AMD wins and destroys intel they will act the same way. We need another competitor in the GPU market as well.

      Competition is fine, but just like the school bully, if I see him getting his ass handed to him, I’m stopping to watch, not to help. But I’m sure as hell going to enjoy the show.

        Publicly traded companies aren’t children though, where being nice or bad is a force of habit to them, and they are able to learn and improve from their mistakes.

        AMD has been an underdog under Intel and Nvidia for most of their existence. If they become the market leader, they will behave like them and start being anti-competitive.

        Intel can stand to still lose a few pegs.

        But after a bunch of beatings even a bully can become the underdog.

          I think the healthy approach is to let it play out, and stop “meddling” as usual with the “free” market. Everybody’s observing free market karma at play. Let it happen, as much as it will. All those intel mbas deserve it completely.

          So far AMD has a good history of not being evil.
