No more AMD vs Intel mentality it seems...
http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-Not-Com...le-237103.shtml QUOTE "We're at an inflection point," said AMD spokesman Mike Silverman, according to a Mercury News report. "We will all need to let go of the old 'AMD versus Intel' mindset, because it won't be about that anymore." |

QUOTE(ALeUNe @ Nov 30 2011, 11:44 AM) Who is stopping AMD from competing? ^-- ThisAMD just need to deliver the product and keep her mouth shut. How Intel monopolize? If you need someone to blame, AMD to blame. AMD let Intel monopolize the x86 market by introducing bad products and full-of-hypes.  Bulldozer was kinda of a letdown, especially after all those hype and the "record breaking" overclocking that they did. While Intel is not innocent of weird marketing (LGA 2011? Really?) at least they did not quite boast around. But IMO the real problem is that AMD bit more than they could chew. They now look like they need to fight off competition from various fronts. But then again mobile computing looks like the way of the future, so who knows, their decision now might be the right thing for them in the future |

And thus WHY AMD says, don't make it AMD vs Intel anymore. Both have different priorities now. As I said earlier, AMD's choice of going towards mobile might be the best choice in the long term as more and more people choose to get smaller, more mobile devices that can be brought everywhere

QUOTE(jonchai @ Dec 3 2011, 12:04 PM) Regardless of what they promote it as, you can't just go around and say that they flop because they run a few FPS lower than Phenom. As an overall processor, it is clearly better than purchasing an i5 (I'm talking about FX-8120 here, because FX8150 is being too expensive) because of its raw processing power and lower overall platform cost. Problem is their marketing had failed. period. no matter how good it is, the damage has been done by themselves by promoting the least good thing about the proc. |
