Haddy · 04-09-2002, 03:08 AM

Brad · 04-09-2002, 04:53 AM

if so intel should have bought heaps of amd stuff 1st august 2000. and sold them when intel bought out the northwood

This is what you do to a competitor, when you have more money.

You slowly buy their stock, and become a large and larger share holder.

Eventually, you own enough stock to influence the company descisions, and if you own that magical 51%, you can literally control the company.

intel is a huge company compared to just about anyone out there, if they wan't to buy amd they could in a heartbeat without blinking

Sure they could buy AMD, but you try and convince the everyone that it's not a monopoly to own the basically the entire processor market.

no they couldnt, government wouldnt let them, that would give them a monapoly on the desktop cpu market....any way i dout amd would sell out unless it wuz a hostile takeover (excuse my basic busniess knowlage)

warp_zero · 04-12-2002, 01:12 PM

VIA C3 are perfectly reasonable processors. For keychains.
