I am not sure what Thomas' angle is. Maybe making more profit means they will have more money to invest in future processor factories and design.. which would make it harder for a competitor? I doubt this is a problem though because if AMD had good ideas for processors they would be able to get investors to build the factories needed. The other scenario is that Intel jacks up the prices now so that they can have enough money to sell processors at a loss in the future with the purpose of preventing a competitor from arising. This would get found out easily though.
