3514.0. "cloning Intel chips, why not us" by POLAR::MOKHTAR () Tue Nov 15 1994 15:04


Companies that cloned Intel chips seem to have made a good business 
decision. 

Based on this fact together with :

 - We have the design experience to build an equal, if not better product.
 - We have state of the art fab process not utilized at full capacity.
 - Our PC business alone is a guaranteed customer using > 200 M $ chips/ year.

Any thoughts ?
