I think it will get more difficult for them unless they move production to Asia. They should do what Nvidia does, become a design house, and get others to manufacture their products to whatever tolerances they want. In that case a lot more money can go into R&D. As they are structured at present, and at their size, it looks bleak IMHO. If the world economy does slide, they could be wiped out.
