HELP!!! Need to do RESEARCH PAPER on Intel&AMD

[vodeux]

Hi guys, I'm working on an econ paper for my college. It's going to be on Intel and AMD's oligopoly in the computer chip market...basically I need to have some reference webpages in helping me get some infos...

some things I need to know

1) The history of intel's role in the market
2) The history of AMD in the market
3) The wars between them
4) The significance of their roadmaps
5) Analysis of the cons and pros of their structure-conduct- performance of both firms

it has to be a 20 page paper (yes, it's for college) so I need to have some detailed information if possible...

I would really appreciate if someone actually working at intel or AMD could provide their emails so I can ask questions directly, or anyone educated enough in this topic can also help me out...

THANX ALOT!!!!!!!! :|:|

I'm pretty sure www.penstarsys.com had a VERY detailed article on AMD's history. That will probably have everything you need. Not sure about Intel.

I'm working on my Master's in Econ., so I could help you out with theory after you gather your data I would think that their webpages would have lots of coporate information on marketshare, competition, etc...I'll dig around JSTOR here and see what I can find...
