Once Intel gets started, you better get out of the way.

Seems a lot like AMD's recent plan. The only difference is I feel like intel won't do as good of a job, because companies will request something from them and they're either going to charge an unreasonable price or they're going to argue with requests and do things their own way. AMD isn't in a position to do either of those things - if someone requests something of them, they'll do it as long as they know it is profitable.

Sounds like both AMD and Intel are copying what IBM has done for years with their PowerPC architecture. Customize it for their large enterprise customers. While it's new that they're doing it. It's not a new concept. deltatux
