Maybe AMD's lawsuit against Intel is putting pressure on computer makers to include AMD's chips. More choice is always a good thing.

I'd probably never buy a Dell but it'll let me recommend them without any reservations

I feel bad for Intel, I mean they have nothing against AMD now that they got the new X2's out.

True... now let's just hope that the vast majority of people don't ignore those choices.

Yeah, I feel sorry for Intel too........
The following is for a 3 month period (3rd quarter) - not a year

http://hardware.silicon.com/desktops/0,39024645,39153461,00.htm
Published: Wednesday 19 October 2005

Intel on Tuesday reported that its third-quarter profits rose five per cent, less than analysts' expectations, as revenue from processors reached an all-time high of $7.26bn.
Net profits for the period were just under $2bn, or 32 cents per share, on overall revenue of $9.96bn. That compares with profits of $1.91bn, or 30 cents per share, on revenue of $8.47bn in the same period in 2004.
Analysts expected Intel to earn 33 cents per share, according to a survey by Thomson First Call.
Third-quarter net revenue and profits per share were influenced by Intel's $300m patent infringement settlement with MicroUnity. Intel said it will charge $140m now and amortise the remaining $160m over the next 10 years.
An increase in taxes of approximately $250m, equivalent to 4 cents per share, related to the decision to repatriate foreign-earned income under the American Jobs Creation Act (Jobs Act), also bit into Intel's profits per share, the company said.

Funny thing is this probably has more to do with Intel suggesting Dell start selling them than it does to do with AMD suggesting it.
