The monkey and the gorilla

Article Abstract:

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has increased its market share of chips for cheaper computers, and is encroaching on the more lucrative part of the market. The company was involved in a long legal battle with Intel which was distracting and affected investor confidence. The company also had problems with its K5 chip, but was helped by the aquisition of NexGen, with a design for a new processor, and a gifted team of engineers. The K6 processor has been successful and output has increased in 1998. Consumers are unconcerned whether their computer has an Intel chip or not, despite efforts to establish the Intel brand.
