My wallet

In practice, I don't care who brings me new tech so long as it works. However, in practice, I also like paying less for new tech. Intel has been dominating the CPU market, are now wiping the floor in the SSD market (though the new Samsung drivers claim to be faster, no benchmarks or price yet so their promises are moot). SO its no surprise that the high end intel CPUs vendor for >$1000 and the SSDs for >$600 for 80GBs.

They say this new tech is orders of magnitude cheaper and thats great. But, if this tech delivers on its promise consistnantly, Intel will dominate this new market as well. Noone will stop AMD from coming up with their own version, you are correct in that respect. But by that time, Intel will permeate the market with eye gouging profit margins on their tech. In comes competition 6 months down the road, they have to compete on price at that point.

This is the reality of the tech world and I recognize that. As I said before, more power to Intel for coming up with this. Personally though, I just wish this tech came from elsewhere first. Intel is a great company, but they need someone to keep their prices in check.
