Advanced Micro Devices: Can Gamers Bring This Chip Maker Back to Life?

I agree with "watching helplessly" (since this is what AMD's complaint is all about) but with respect to "as Intel’s superior technology reached 75%" it would be far more appropriate to tell it as it is: "Intel's sales machine over-whelmed AMD's superior technology through heavy advertising and by out-shrinking AMD while simultaneously ballooning the CPU cache sizes to make up for the inadequacies of Intel's technology (not to mention a little bullying of OEM's at the retail end).

Struggling AMD Is Still Searching for Inspiration

As a committed use AMD products since 1998 I believe strongly in the company.
I also believe that when (or if) the latest products from AMD find their way into retail channels they will completely outclass Intel. So Intel will only have one solution left - as they've shown themselves capable of in the past - prevent market access to these new products.

Microsoft Figured We'd All Be on Vista by Now

Makes one wonder is this just incompetence or is it another attempt to get rid of AMD? And who's to benefit if that were to happen?

Certainly not the consumer.
