I'm not saying they're going to flood they market and put Intel out of business
at all. I'm saying the chip they're producing is much better.

Intel will of course find new ways to BS people. Whether it's with them trying
to make people think a new CPU is going to increase their internet performance
as they've tried in the past or ramping up clock speeds while providing poor
performance. I'm positive Intel will continue to lie, buy people off, influence
review pages so they provide favorable reviews, etc. Intel will be around for
some time no doubt but as I've said in the past on many occasions... you can
only BS people for so long.
