AMD takes ‘new’ initiative

Uses IT to open its arms to the world
Fri Jul 25 2008, 16:06

PROCESSING POWER HOUSE AMD wants to share the love and deepen the penetration of technology in India through IT channels.

AMD say is is building up a forté in India by strengthening existing relationships and reaching out to new ones.

General manager Deepanshu 'the charmer' Sharma says, “We always focus on balanced strategy by widening the market share and penetrating deep into the market.” Nice.

According to Sharma, AMD is quite unique as he claims that the company is, " positioned as the only company globally with expertise in three of the most important PC technologies."

He's talking about the triple and quad core Phenom processors, the 4800 and 780 series graphics chipsets, and the Turion Ultra platform, of course.

In terms of the IT slowdown Sharma is full of confidence as he reckons that AMDs products are either, "compelling enough for them to go ahead with purchase, " or that buying these goods is simply, "need driven" so consumers just won’t be able to resist.

Well, we're happy to hear that nothing can get in the way of flawless AMD's success. µ

Give them some slack...

While Intel seems to have top performance per device sewn up, AMD has dropped prices so low that performance per $ is just fine. Come, admit it. Your quad core hotplate is idling most of the time anyway. AMD works for me. Salesmen have to make a living and when they cannot understand data, they do get carried away with adjectives.

If you want the best value per $ from a CPU, put it into a video editing station or a server, not your desktop. People have awakened to this and are buying up low-end notebooks and such. Intel cannot keep up with the demand for the Atom. AMD's Geode and successor, if it ever arrives, will sell many times for each quad-core chip.

Both AMD and Intel should figure out how many 32bit 3gHz chips they can crank out on a 600mm wafer at 22 nm instead of betting the farm on multicore CPUs only. The desktop does not usually need that kind of power. Servers may but there are many clients per server except in super-computers.

We should also migrate to GNU/Linux so we get the service from our machines that we want. If you need quad core to make Vista run comfortably, your logic is circular. You do not need Vista to run at all and while we are looking at configurations switch to thin client or multi-seat X so that our machines have to work a bit to earn their keep.

AMD's market-share and brand-awareneness can't be beat. For instance, I know that Turion Ultra washes whiter and at cooler temperatures than any other leading brand!

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
