Intel takes aim at AMD’s cash cow

Intel today announced what it called a “solid start” into the new year. But the company can’t hide that it was a mixed bag of good news and bad news overall, with higher revenue but less profit, a growing mobile but increasingly painful flash business and fabs that are producing lots of 45 nm processors. However, if compared to AMD, Intel is increasing its advantage every day and is inflicting damage on AMD’s most profitable product - the high-end 4P and 8P Opteron processors.
