We still need AMD, don't you know?

Despite the fact that when it posts its results tomorrow, those results will not make silicon investors shriek with glee, no one in the industry – not even Intel – wants AMD to fail.

This is all a little bit like a game of European chess. The Red King is obviously Hector Ruiz, while the White King is, without a shadow of a doubt, Paul Otellini.

Identifying the other 30 pieces on the board with real human beings is harder. Who, for example is the Red Queen, and who the White Queen?

Depends on the chess set in question.

Isn't chess Black vs White?
