Dueling Fools: Intel

Recs

3

Poor microprocessors. They are the brains of our computers, but how many people know whether there is an Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) or an AMD (NYSE: AMD) chip whirring away inside their laptop?

Sure, we know the name outside the box. Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ)? Gateway (NYSE: GTW)? Dell (Nasdaq: DELL)? No-brainer. You may even know that Logitech (Nasdaq: LOGI) made your webcam or that Creative Labs (Nasdaq: CREAF) powers your PC speakers. But microprocessors? They get about as much love as your internal hard drives!

So let's show Intel a little love this week. The chip giant is obviously about more than just powering your PC, but we still can't get two Fools to agree about its prospects as an investment. Jack Uldrich is so bullish on Intel that he owns a piece of the company. Anders Bylund is so bearish that he owns a piece of AMD.

How do you feel about this popular Inside Value newsletter recommendation? That's what this Duel is all about.

Duel on!
