And Amato claimed: "We aren't losing market share at all." µ



So, what do ya think? Can Barcelona take on the big bad guy, Conroe? I know, I know, this was so much talked about that people are geting sick of it, the only thing missing is Barcelona to actually make a live apearance.

Guiseppe Amato must be related to Baghdad Bob how do you drop 1/3 of your revenue in a quarter and not lose market share?

Year over year, CPU's market grew by 8%. So your saying that's all just pricing... I think not. AMD lost market share, to say otherwise is utter denial.

So you're saying that K10 aka Barcelona is not AMD's answer to Core2? :?:

Didn't they skip the C2D question and move on to the C2Q?

lol no it isnt
k10 is a server part it competes with penryn


No. K10 is the arch that will encompass all of AMD's next gen chips, just as K8 encompasses Opteron, Athlon, Turion etc.

Am I the only one far more excited about a 2.9Ghz dual-core than a 2.3Ghz quad-core K10? I can't be.

thats funny cause from what i read k10 is a glorified/modified k8. from what i could tell they took a k8 and added some features and cores and stuff. plus i think its funny trying to consider k10 with its low-k dialectric being relevent 2 years from now


"cores and stuff" ?? LOL

You're technical knowledge astounds me.

I like that picture with the crossbar switch. It would sound better if it was a crowbar switch. Why is it Inq always has such stupid titles. I think AMD will knock Intel to the mat for 6 seconds before Intel gets up and throws some jabs.

enhancements? feature consistancy?
sounds like the same old thing just a bit faster and more cores and stuff


You really need to stop, you're making a total fool of yourself.

K10 is a HELL of a lot more than just "bit faster and more cores and stuff" Wikipedia has a brief article that is a good place to start, do some reading.

Everytime I see references to Wikipedia, it reminds me of this quote from Michael Scott of The Office

Let me quote.
"Wikipedia, it's the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know that you are getting the best possible information."

ASP's are in the gutter.... its entirely possible that they haven't lost much overall marketshare seeing how far prices have tumbled.

That being said they'd be better off with higher ASP's and less share.

Yeah, marketshare grabs (at any cost) is not a bright strategy for mature markets w/ entrenched leaders. I could understand the strategy for new emerging markets.

Better to own a 10% niche of the market and actually make profits, then own 40% and lose money.

"CHIP FIRM AMD is continuing to talk up its forthcoming K10 "Barcelona" microprocessor, and to insist it will beat the competition hands down."

How can it be "hands down" if "much depends on applications"?
