Intel bitchslaps AMD

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips (More info?)

Well, apparently Intel had a very good quarter, and it hurt AMD. Mostly
in the realm of flash memory not processors where the hurting happened,
but it does reflect on the whole company. Apparently Intel took back
significant marketshare in the flashram realm; and flash is more
important to AMD than it is to Intel.

No wonder. I do embedded stuff for a living. Uniflash is my daily buddy
(I'm even mentioned in the doc file ), and yet I never saw an AMD
flash chip (pricelists and pictures do not count).
Atmel, Winbond, SST, Intel, Macronix, Mosel yes, but no AMD - now thats
funny.


Pozdrawiam.

Really? My company uses tons of AMD flash. They are our primary
supplier.

Probably all you see is gray stuff. ;-)

AMD, or rather, that little "a" symbol that AMD uses. Not much room
for much else... 8)

Oop. Looking again, under the 'scope, "AMD" is indeed spelled-out,
along with the usual part-number and lot-code info...

The only thing I buy at Wallmar id ammo. They have very good prices on
it. I can shoot a whole day on a brick of .22LR for $9, with perhaps a
box of .357 ($14) thrown in. Good stuff, and made in America. ;-)

Other than that I rarely walk in the place.

We make some of that electronics stuff here too, and then
package it up thar in Canuckistan, eh? ;-)
