But you know what the biggest competitor of AMD and Intel are? There is little need for people to upgrade and buy new PC's. I'm having the <a href="http://migs.paraz.com/w/archives/2006/07/30/random-takes-for-today/" rel="nofollow">upgrade itch</a> but there's no real reason for me to buy a new home PC.

With AMD's buying of ATI, AMD will be able to offer a more viable and affordable alternative to the Centrino. If I were Intel I'd also be wary, but I don't think laying off people will help maintain their market share They’ve been reigning supreme in the notebook market due to the Centrino platform.
