but think again, if AMD is out of the picture will intel even try anymore cuz that's one of the few motivation they had before AMD decided to suck some major corn holes......

I don't think there is much evidence that pressure from AMD has driven the Intel innovation machine for decades (if ever). I'm thinking that once AMD started competing in the courtroom rather then teh marketplace the writing was on the wall.
Intel is an "industry driver". With Intel's market share and capitalization it would be daunting task, and therefore a very high risk proposition for any investors looking to challenge Intel in their own ballpark. First they would need massive monetary injections just to open the door, then, they would need to develop an earth shattering product that would revolutionize the industry, and harder still, be in any position to ramp up production to a scale able to complete with Intel.
Next would be years of litigation where Intel claims copywright infringement and ties up a new comapaies resources locked inside a court case. They would find it hard to introduce their first produt for many years until teh courts make a decision one way or the other.
umm... not to mention the software that runs the world is written to run on Intel processors
Each innovative property they add to their product line, the create another revenue stream. It is simply to their advantage to constantly introducing new devices with greater functionality.
Marketing is inexpensive since the have no real comptitors.
Pricing should be kept close to current, not withstanding any severe market destructive influences like Obama getting set to help them like he helped Gibson Goutars
:
Intel is one of the few companys rated strong enough to survive another SEVERE economic downturn, and they consistently pay dividends. I don't see the lack of AMD competition
:
: but I suspect thier price point won't move much if any because their current pricing strategy seems to drive their business model extremely well.
I agree AMDs will get it's ass kicked in teh mobile market for the reason's it tanked and buned on teh desktop.
Unless of course, they are wiling to give the chips away below
IMO of course
