Why are things the way they are. How did it get like this. Why are some, like me, AMD fanboys.
The stuff the bias wants to hide. The unmentionables. You can support what you know is right. Bottom line - it's about treating consumers with honesty.
Honesty as in how the phenom was going to kick C2d ass ? And honesty as in obsfucating fall product launches so badly as to leave the consumer asking ..."what" ?
"Now if the 4870x2 was actually notably faster than the 280 for about the same price, then I might even take a chance on it. However, that won't be the case."
The EU is just extorting Intel. Intel should tell them to pound sand and force anyone in Europe to buy their CPUs on the black market. So then they will get no VAT either.
No one talks about the Japanese government holding the hands of their corporations to help them dump, and destroy industries all over the world.
they don't do these things without investigation and reason... if it were in a communist country, i would roll it off the shoulder... but it's not. I don't wish any harm to anyone who's innocent... but if they find reason to investigate, then by all means, investigate. I don't think any major penalties will come of this... and besides, there is no such thing as bad press... so if they don't end up getting fined out the butt... then it's all just free name dropping in thousands of articles and news outlets the world over.
