I think this is a good thing for the PC and CPU industry as a whole....This is something AMD doesn't have the capital to do, but wil have some indirect benefits for them...

AMD needs to get capacity up to handle some of that demand for low cost cpus...AMD will likely not have the cpaacity of INtel anytime in the forseeable future, so ofcourse as this tremendou markets emerge AMD will not be able to feed them...INtel will win these anyways, at least they are spending the cash...

No argument here. Has to be fustrating for AMD to always end up "background noise" though.

I really wish AMD, and Intel were more equal competitors though.

I think the third world needs food more than they need Oblivion.

They are primarily interested in getting them internet access on cheap systems, and teaching them some basic skills, 3D gaming wouldn't even be a consideration.

In the long term, distance learning, and net access, could prove to be synonomous to the difference illustrated in that old axiom about giving a man a fish, feeding him for a day, and teaching him to fish feeding him for a lifetime
