AMD cannot supply 30% of the CPU market; if they were going to fab

Please! WTF do motherboards have to do with fab capabilities? Do you
think Intel makes motherboards? (I guess you should know).

The answer is that AMD doesn't really need to be in the motherboard
market...Nvidia does a fine job. If there isn't much profit in the
market, why re-enter?

What?! I didn't know nVidia was in the motherboard biz! Wow, I must be
outta the loop.

What drugs are you on tonight, Dave?
