    So if anything, he helped bring Intel back - in the processor department.

  • Ramble, on 05/22/2009, -0/+1Not really. AMD gained the most market share during this period.
  • Elranzer, on 05/22/2009, -4/+2I wonder if he's the one responsible for bullying Microsoft to keep supporting 32-bit architecture. For example, Windows 7 all ready to go 64-bit only, then convinced that Windows 7 would be "huge" for netbooks, which of course only use Intel's 32-bit-only Atom architecture.
