I forget who is famous for the quote, and I don't remember the exact wording, but it says something to the effect of,"The crowd is almost always badly wrong."

Generally, following the crowd is a bad idea, because even when they choose the right thing, it's generally for the wrong reason.

We should get out of Iraq because of 1,000,000 dead Iraqis instead of about 10,000 dead Americans. We should kick Bush out of office because his policies are harmful rather than the idea that "he's an idiot"(he is far from being idiot, he is very articulate in his reasoning despite the fact that I don't agree with him). And lastly, AMD will make a comeback because Intel isn't profitable unless reasons to upgrade still exist.

That last one is a little more complicated, basically with no competition, people have less of a desire to upgrade. In music, most people "only listen to what they've listened to," and most people won't attend a movie unless someone's told them about it first. In the microprocessor situation's case, most people won't upgrade unless they've seen a better product than theirs, and they won't go to the PC aisle unless they think they'll be impressed.

Rather odd that a company that is all about performance per Watt makes no mention of power (there is nothing on the AMD site on the original press release either!).

Rather odd omission? (If they have 'delivered' them, are they not capable of mentioing the power?)

Seriously. We might need IBM to re-enter the mid-range server CPU fray.

When AMD decided to take on the strongest CPU maker AND the strongest GFX Card maker and lay people off and not have a CTO, is they day they were no longer relevant.

Its sad to see AMD flopping around like fish out of water.

You routinely see Dells and Fry's homebuilts and Supermicro junk beat Sun/AMD super-expensive-servers on the SPEC.org CPU2006.



Here its again... a True Hemi Cuda with amd pumpin the displacement....

Shorty do what u wanna do...
Hit the gass floorrr cause blues running out the dooorrrr
