Tom's facts on cpu technology shows AMD started this little
cat fight with INTEL.
They cloned Intel chips for 14 years, overclocked them and
sold them for less thats just bad bussiness, to under cut the
cpu's designer/owner prices.
I have a ? for everyone tell me if IBM didn't twist Intel's arm
to allow AMD to clone there cpu learning how the technology
work from Intel, where would AMD be right now without the
knowledge of Intel existing cpu's

What are you some kind of Communist? Its called a free market.

Your second point is valid, AMD owes its existence in the x86 segment to IBM.

He has a point, before AMD was making cpu's they were just making bios chips. It wasn't until IBM said something that Intel licensed AMD to make chips to help supplies. Now if Intel didn't do what they did because of IBM, AMD would probably still be in just bios chips.
 
I'd say "stupid flamebait", lol.

But just for the sake of the "argument"... If AMD dissapears (and all other chip makers that use x86), you won't have improvements like C2D over previous gens (at reasonable prices) nor anything to compare it to (risc vs cisc anyone?).

Esop!

I agree, without AMD, Intel would have a monopoly and wouldn't care. We'd all still be playing Doom 2 with our latest S3 GPU with a card made by Trident on our 486 with the turbo button on!
 


Your little provocation shows an ignorance about the technology industry in general, an ignorance in the free market, an ignorance of (any) large company's procurement and vendor practices, as well as an ignorance of the the underlying factors that have promoted and furthered technology over the past 30 years.

"AMD started this little cat fight with Intel" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

If you wanna play "point-the-finger" then you should be looking to IBM and not AMD. If not AMD then it would have been someone else (Texas Instruments?!?!) who won the contract and then Tom would be writing articles about them instead of AMD.

Cat fight...hahahaha...meow!

FLAME ON!!!!!!!!!!
 


This posts reeks of fail:

1) Not a question or plea for help
2) Not based on any information
3) Not much thought was put into the creation of the post


Smells like flaimbait to me; and my guess is that is the intent of the author as well.

Where would anything be with out evolution.....now that is the question you should be asking......or let's go back a little further.....

How about a universe with nothing instead of something.....now where would we be.......no AMD or Intell................

What came first the chicken or the egg.... :D

In other words, who cares.......................

Better add strange grammar / punctuation. OP doesn't know what "question" means.

We are bashing, ill make a small pun (lousy pun actually), quoting OP:

I have a ? for everyone tell me if IBM didn't twist Intel's arm
to allow AMD to clone there cpu learning how the technology
work from Intel where would AMD be right now without the
knowledge of Intel existing cpu's

Say that loud, no commas (it had one, badly placed, so off with the comma). But don't come saying "yada yada Ingrish not m3 native lang". I work in Spain, in my office, that people CAN talk, Castellano (Spanish), Catalan, Gallego, Euskera (i know very little of this one), one of my mates is Brazilian, i post in English,Portuguese and Spanish.

I'm Portuguese. Firefox Dictionary is "LA HOSTIA MACHO".

I'm not bashing AMD, but am tired of hearing how Intel copied AMD
the truth is AMD was the clone for so many years. No I'm not flaming
just telling the truth. Like a student and teacher the student can improve
on what is taut by the teacher but without the lesson there's nothing
to improve on. (BOTTOM LINE DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEED YOU).
