 |  amd = history of betrayal & crying IBM invented PC. IBM demanded Intel to have a second chip maker (you know the reason why). Intel came to AMD and gave a way its x86 technology (with the processor design). Intel secretly developed 386. IBM was not a factor now. --> intel screwed IBM & AMD. Intel went along. AMD was lost. It would die. --> AMD took it to the court. AMD won > 10 million dollars. Intel had to give AMD the x86 technology with design. Intel named its processors to Pentium (This way Intel can kill AMD) Counter-attacked: AMD took that 10+ mil and bought NexGen. It came out with K6 (K6=best Pentium design + the best NexGen). It was the first time AMD went it way. K6 was buggy but faster than Pentium in some area. It had a positive income for the first time. Then the battle heated up. AMD went out and bought Alpha from Dec & the whole Alpha team. It came out with Althon. AMD was better than Intel now. --> AMD & Intel agreed to go their way on chip design but still share the x86 technology. http://finance.google.com/group/goog...7abcd309c30e07
