Is this the part where we blame it on Intel fanboys who don't know any better and the stupidity of the masses for continuing to support the demon that is Intel? :p

Hopefully this one doesn't get my mom. She was assured by her boss that she is safe, but you never know.

No, what comes next is where everyone realizes that AMD's made some dumb decisions and simply hasn't been able to keep their corner of the market like Intel has.

Intel or AMD... who cares?

Intel's a superior company if AMD is going out of business and Intel is still going strong.

She's a customer service rep, which at AMD means she handles the big corporate customers, not end users. She's hooked me up with a few free CPU's.

Well, I don't care who gets blamed. I just want to see AMD survive. We all know that the moment AMD (or Intel, for that matter) closes their doors, CPU prices go back up to $1k+ and the development of faster ones comes to a dead halt.
