AMD sues intel woot!

<< < (3/5) > >>

Samari:
they have testimony from about 30 different companies about Intel's practices and have already proven their case in Japan.  It's not exactly an industry secret that Intel strong arms its customers and if you read the actual court filing it's definitely been gone over thoroughly.  This is obviously a suit that AMD has been wanting to file for a while but now all the pieces are in place.

Addius:
AMD will lose badly just as atleast 15 previous cases that I know of for exactly the same reason.

AMD lost the deal with Dell and the stuff with Apple is obvious but I still claim that AMD's only way to gain anything within the OEM market is to crush Intel in the computer enthusiast market and increase production capacity (alternatively improve yield levels). They are close but not close enough.

The pre-built thingy is a bitch.

YESH! DOWN WITH INTEL WOO GO AMD

I got a AMD ATHLON64 3400 and im proud to say its far better than intels! Ha!
AMD clock speeds are far lower than then intels yet they have the same processing power! Surely AMD should be better!! Grr haha intel r afraid of competition! I hate them anyway, all the intels i used either blew up Or were just damn to slow!
My 1.3GhzDuron i once had Was a lot faster than thier 2.7Ghz Celeron!
 I know the celeron is the lower grade Pentium but so is the duton for the Athon so :-P

FreshJive787:
yeah AMD is faster because of shorter pipelines or something like that, intel uses beefier power to send the info through longer pipelines. thats just my basic understanding, correct me if im wrong.

anyway AMD is way better than intel in all respects, i was watching something on TV about how if the market was just between intel and AMD it would be something like 80% of the sales going to intel and 20% going to AMD. and thats just wierd, blame it on the ignorant consumer

JP:
Or blame it that it's nearly impossible to get an AMD system from major retailers like Dell. Most people don't build their own computers and aren't given a choice of which brand processor they want.

I think AMD has mostly superior procs to Intel, particularly compared to the P4, but to say that AMD is superior in all respects to Intel isn't really true. Intel does produce some very good products - the Pentium M comes immediately to mind.

The Pentium 840EE (the new dual-core) also outperform's AMD's Athlon 64 X2 4800+ when actually running multiple proc intensive application, but underperforms on single application benchmarks.

As for the pipelines, the Athlon 64 gets part of its advantages from having an on-die memory controller, eliminating the need for the processor to communicate with the northbridge to get information from the RAM. Another problem is the simple fact that the P4 processor just does less work per clock-cycle than previous versions, like the P3 and M. The philosophy Intel had behind the P4 was to allow for clock speeds of up to 10GHz, but they've topped out at 4GHz, ruining the plan to make up for decreased efficiency with extremely high clock speeds.
