If I get it right, Henri Richard said that in 2004 when he was still working for AMD! That's a reason to be fired right there. Anyway, I'm sure there are plenty of people at Intel who think the same about their own products. The difference here is that this went public.CNet reports Intel cites a 2004 internal AMD communication from former AMD Executive Vice President Henri Richard, the company's then-highest-ranking sales executive who said, "If you look at it with an objective set of eyes, you would never buy AMD. I certainly would never buy AMD for a personal system, if I wasn't working here."
