The vast majority of computers sold (offices, education, home use) do not require and pittance of performance.  Processors are so powerful nowadays that the "low end" is more than functional for the majority of situations.  AMD *should* still rule this low end market with their great performance per buck per watt.  The only place intel should hold a lead is in the upper/enthusiast market for gaming/video editing.  But intel has lasered "Intel Inside" into everyone's brain to they point that they think if it doesnt have intel, its not good enough.  My friend who works at Best Buy says all the time that people will chose Intel over cheaper, equally powered AMD systems, even after being told as such!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[elBravo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 19th 2009 12:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AMD nets final approval to create The Foundry Company]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/amd-nets-final-approval-to-create-the-foundry-company/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/amd-nets-final-approval-to-create-the-foundry-company/</guid><description><![CDATA[Remember the days, not all THAT long ago when AMD produced better and cheaper chips than Intel?
