Intel to kill AMD in 60 days

[averyblund]

This is a joke played out every few years.

Right now Intel is being threatened by the EU with anti-competitive behavior, if they kill AMD I have no doubt they would receive heavy sanctions.

Secondly chip design takes years. If Intel lost x64 they would be essentially chip less for a year at least. Itanium is expensive and stuck in the low 1ghz level, and that is the ONLY viable 64bit architecture they have- and a lousy one at that.

Also Intel is killing AMD right now, so there isn't much of a competitive advantage to twisting the knife further especially when they stand to lose so much to IBM, Sun, VIA and other chipmakers.

If this were to ever happen it would destroy the entire PC market overnight.
