Intel and Applied Micro devices are the 2 major producers of CPU chips used in personal computers. They can each research and enhance their Chips computational speed, reduce their power consumption, or enhance their graphics ability. The economic profit depends on each company's choice of which attribute to research. The payoff matrix shows each firms hypothetical economic profit for all possible choices. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? Explain the answer
