note neccesarily, for the value and mainstream consumers it is looking quite good though biggrin.gif

the CnQ II looks very promising as well, if only the price segment is good biggrin.gif

I think that the target group for amd phenom x4 is a different market then anticipated, because i feel the target groups are mainstream instead of the niche extreme performance market.

The pricing and strategy of phenom x4 is reflecting what i see.

AMD wont go bankrupt one. The OEM and ODM wont want to see a scenario where Intel is the only player on the market.
The worst is we see AMD being taken over by another investment group or large company.

AMD has been losing money for years before Athlon and AMD64 comes along

Because its david vs. goliath story mar hahaha... and Athlon was the kick to the nut sacks of intel laugh.gif laugh.gif

The AMD quad is not worth it you can read the full review here http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/11/19/the...weaves_its_web/

As it seems even an Intel E6550/E6600 can match its performance!!

Not necessarily, i suspect the market they are targeting at is to be the mainstream, so next year Q1 2008, the price would be quite competitively priced against Intels offerings biggrin.gif

AMD taken over = intel can terminate their x86 license.

So meaning that if AMD was taken over, it would literally spell the end of AMD processors as we know it?

And does that also mean that intel does not want AMD to go bust as well?

Pls enlighten this noob, ikanayam laugh.gif

The x86 license agreement with intel has some clauses that say that intel can terminate the license if AMD goes bankrupt or gets bought over.

Deep down inside, intel wants AMD to go bust. Else they wouldn't be pushing as hard as they are now. Of course publicly they have to say they like competition and whatnot, but intel wants to be a monopoly, if possible. And i think they see TSMC as their main competition in the future, not AMD, because unless AMD pulls off another K8 within the next year or so, i don't think they will ever fully recover from this hit. In less than a year, i think they have lost more money than they have ever made in their entire existence (certainly more than they made the last 10 years).

I see, but i thought US had antitrust laws that prevent monopolization from happening? ( Microsoft excluded)
And would you feel AMD's borrowed time is limited if they do not make another K8 miracle within the next 1 year?

No, amd just wants to make money. They are not doing it for any other reason. Certainly there is no noble cause involved.

haha yeap biggrin.gif
Same goes to intel laugh.gif

^ wait but does this means if no amd then no x86?

No, it means that no other processor maker other then intel can produce x86 if there is no AMD
