Yeah, I am actually afraid that if AMD were to go under that intel would have no reason to up the ante anymore, and would basically just do what they were doing pre-amd64 days- putting out the same chips with tiny incremental clock speed changes and making us all pay for it and limit other technologies to their will.
I think it would just be best if AMD were to all of the sudden start doing really well. It's not like it would do very much financial damage to intel because of how deep their pockets are and how widespread their chips are in the electronics industry. WE THE CONSUMER need AMD to do well so that prices come down, and new technologies and efficiencies are introduced in the heat of competition.
