AMD Faces Pressure from Intel

Here's an interesting article I found today. I think AMD will have it's hands full only because, Intel has had a mediocre architecture for the last few years and now, they seem to have a promising new architecture coming. Not only that, Intel has still remained on top even with such an architecture. What are your thoughts on this?

Which of course is based on your extensive benchmarking.

mmhmm.

Didn't know you were an Intel Fanboy, but I'll add you to my list.

We don't have enough information yet. Conroe looks promising but we only have Intel's word for it. AM2 will enter the picture initially with marginal, if any real performance enhancements however, this new socket + DDR2 should really come into play once AMD begins ramping up clock speeds. Don't forget that the K8 architecture scales really well.

This is going to be a hard fought battle with, as always, Intel having much deeper pockets and loads of advertising dollars. Ultimately the market should remain highly competitive. This benefits the consumer.

good question, now that we Intel fans have a better product, why do the AMD fans hate us so bad? And here I thought they liked performance and the best price as they claim

Hence... nm

I don't really see it a battle, struggle perhaps to have the better product for your/my money.

I don't know... I'm prolly just not into the graphic discriptions of war.

It was an expression but surely you got my point.
