"Intel warned on Friday that its revenue for the first quarter would come in at between $8.7 billion and $9.1 billion [EUR 7.2 and 7.6 billion], roughly $500 million [EUR 415 million] lower than estimates the company issued in January. The chipmaker cited a weak market and a 'slight' market share loss. Analysts generally agree about the market, but are putting more emphasis on the loss of share. Some have pointed to the momentum shown by AMD, which has been far more aggressive over the past 18 months. The rival chipmaker has been strengthening its ties to PC makers, most prominently with HP, and keeping prices low."

You need to brush up on your computer economics/technical knowledge.
2. Who cares about the process being used if your chips are still hotter/slower than the competition's?
5. AMD processors have always been cheaper here in Canada than Intel processors. Price was the entire reason that my friends have Athlon XPs while almost no one I know has Pentium 4s. AMD has always had the upper hand in price/performance, even when it comes to the very expensive Athlon 64 X2s.
6. AMD stayed with Socket A for many years while Intel went through 3 sockets. AMD's Socket 754 was a temporary stop-gap until they could lower costs and move everything over to Socket 939. S939 has been a stable and well-established socket for a few years now, and only recently is AMD moving on again (this time to support DDR2).
