Bank ruptcy ..i don't think so ..
I am not expert but this what i think about AMD ..
Every one in this discussion are talking about Phenom being 13% slower
than the intel's latest offering and tend to forget that 13.65 %
cheaper. Also Intel's new 45 nano based chips require new set of
hardware, on other side AMD phenom is compatible with older Chip set.
 So my point is when we are looking at the price to performance ratio
we are pretty much seeing great edge for AMD.
Quad based processing is new in the industry .... I don't see people
want to put lot of money and replace whole hardware in transition from
dual to quad core... etc.
I am not predicting AMD to take INTEL neck to neck but i believe as of
medium processing requirements.. AMD is winner.

Coming back to financial..I believe AMD phenom should have good market
considering price to performance ratio.. to answer y AMD is hitting
bottom (2 dolllars drop in 2 weeks) i think AMD has no new bad news
for this slump in value it has to do with over all TECH market that
is  going crazy.. because of the Credit issue
I think  it shall go back to  $13.00 by first week December.. I do
hold couple of hundred shares in AMD...
