| program and other marketing promotions Intel has used over the
| years have killed profitability for PC makers.

| "The industry was saddled with a very successful marketing
| program that sucked all of the profit out of the industry," he
| said. In China, PC makers can avoid these programs and "not
| become a hostage."
