The article talks about revenue and not about unit shipment. Doesn't market share refer to units? Not who's making the most profit, but who is selling the most units. Didn't AMD take market share back from Intel in the last quarter even though they had to sell the units for less because of the price war?

I was very pro AMD since earlier in the 90s.

The short lived 939 socket p*ssed me off and I will be building my first intel based system this weekend(Q6600) with ASUS Maximux SE X38. 

I don't want AMD to disappear or anything but I'm not gonna give them money atm either.

Lets start flaming!

Since the I386 came out, AMD has copied a lot of Intel's ideas...

like a lotto winner on crack, AMD made it big, it went to their heads, they squandered their lead, and now they dine on pie in the sky, which is better than fishing in trash cans at least but they have still not remembered that the present is where they win or lose the future (and all that means for competing & getting priorities in the right order)

its good to know there are some other IC fabricators out there who might be able to take up the Intel challenge, with the right IP. Who knows, maybe someone will buy out AMD before long!

you don't need to get shocked, AMD are not your company anyway.

You have all forgotten the 939 fiasco, but intel has been on lga socket since p4. Then theres the built in memory controller, could it be that its become a liability.

Because American government will always turn a blind eye to corporate corruption until it is too late.

This isnt suprising really. AMD screwed a lot of customers a few years ago with the socket 939. That was enough to convince me to buy an Intel CPU for the first time in a decade.

Idgaf - what are you on about? The solution is for AMD to produce better products.

Intel is doing better than AMD and making a profit because they have better products. 

So having better products is considered to be a devious tactic in your book? Grow up fanboi.

AMD pulled in revenue of 5.8 Billion last year, not 7.8 as this idiot states. In addition, unless AMD has sold nothing this quarter, they will probably pull in somewhere north of 6.2 Billion for the year.


Intel seems adept at turning a profit in a manner chillingly similar to that outlined in a
Lawsuit charging Monopolistic behavior towards them.
They can turn a profit but cannot comply with a Court Order to back-up and supply email messages to the defendant.
Why do We allow them to get away with such tactics ?
They are inexcusable abuses of the system ,
If they delay long enough they can bankrupt the competition.

I just hope AMD does better in 08/09 cause without them Intel will just get greedy, there is no reason for Intel to rush forward if no one is pushing them.

Since AMD64 came out Intel has copied a lot of AMD's ideas.


One of my favorite INQ posts....

"It's a bad idea until we copy it, then it's a great idea!" 

Intel is following in AMD's footsteps
