AMD's big anouncement on monday?

[kellytm3]

Can anyone shed some light on what this might be? http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/12/09/amd-surprise-monday

Another Black Edition?

Another Black Edition?

I would think that would be a good guess...

either that or some announcement about some up and comming tech, which will more than likely be less than exciting....

PLUS lets not forget this is the inquirer and the information can be dodgey at best sometimes.

 

[justinmcg67]

It's all hype. Just about everything AMD has said this past year has been hype. And look where we stand right now...nowhere.

Does anyone remember the original Black Edition hype? With the snake and all that? People were getting so excited, and after weeks of marketing hype all they got was a multi unlocked X2!

AMD's Dark side?

 

[zenmaster]

It could be an ATI related announcement.
Possibly Dual-Core GPUs or something along those lines.

I doubt there is any truly good news that could come from the CPU portion. The ATI division could put out something.

Profitability in Q1 of 2009?

 

[epsilon84]

a 3 Ghz + phenom at 45nm to release by Christmas that actually beats Intel. LOL I wish.

It's good to see you're not entirely delusional...

LOL

2010? 2011? 2012?

Maybe they're announcing that they're being acquired.

 

[caamsa]

acquired by who? WalMart? A Chinese investor? Bill Gates.

or......................Mark Shuttleworth?

By CompUSA

 

[Guest]

Google :lol:

 

[RetiredChief]

Don't think its going to be Compusa as they are being sold, and the stores closed and sold.

To bad every once in awhile the had some items at grate sale prices.
Maybe the'll have a "fire" sale

 

[rwayne]

Maybe they're announcing that they're being acquired.

That's what I hope. IBM or Samsung either one would be fine.

 

[yomamafor1]

Maybe announcement of appointing one of THGF's best to its PR position?

 

[frozenlead]

hello, comon guys.
they're releasing the long awaited consumer quantum computer.

even i can see that coming.

 

[easyg]

My goodness, just read between the lines. No, you don't even need to do that. The INQ spells it out in the last sentence:

So, after all, ATI did bring something to the party. It is asset light. Or get your stuff fabbed out. Jerry Sanders III is probably meditating on how " real men have fabs.

In other words: The INQ is saying AMD will announce a CPU outsourcing Monday.

 

[sedaine]

Yes - it is an outsourcing thing. AMD and Intel have an outsourcing agreement.

WOW!!!

As of 25th Dec, Intel will be making the "Intel Inside" sticker for AMD machines.

 

[boduke]

Hector submitting his resignation?

 

[bstep1989]

not black edition...it has been stated that ther will not be a phenom black edition, but a completely unlocked cpu...not just multiplier...whatever that means, what else could be unlocked? voltage regulator in the BIOS of the MB?


edit: well it looks like AMD lied again...black editions are available on newegg....thanks Hector, you are gaining more of my confidence everyday...
