Not surprising news. What is surprising is many have thought that now was the timed for Intel to branch out and become a presence in other markets besides the PC . Instead, they will keep pushing the 86 design into the future.

Following Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) Q1 earnings, I wrote that the company had a fundamental choice between retrenchment and transformation. After recent presentations at Bernstein and Computex, it has become clear that Intel has chosen retrenchment: doubling down on x86 architecture to preserve its domination of the PC market, and leveraging this to make gains in the data center and Internet of Things.

Doing a bit of research, "Seeking Alpha" appears to be a front for shorters/short term traders. They seem to specialize in "bad news" articles; they release negative articles, depress the stock price of a company very slightly, the traders buy, then when the stock recovers, they sell, making a reasonable profit.

They are a clever scheme because, legally, they operate in such a way that legal screens covering fraudulent trading practices cannot be proven.

Thank for the warning. I will refrain from reading it anymore.

The idea that Intel can hurt AMD is rather silly. AMD is doing well. If anything, Intel is, in my humble option, top heavy with too much capitol invested in one area. The title could have been, 'Intel is too stubborn to transform' and they are missing the boat.

If anything, buy  more AMD if it goes down a bit.
