This can't be right. According to CNN and the New york times, Intel "In a gesture not short of surrendering" will sell half its company to AMD due to what Intel sources call "surprising dominance" on AMD's part, so much that apparently Intel's lower sales compared to AMD are getting even lower.

The report says Intel's old disadvantage of being priced to high is now being added to by the disadvantage of having the less performing cpus, making the saying "why pay more for less" come to mind.

Latest marks show AMD's cpu's, before the 200fsb was introduced, already dominated Intel's lated 400fsb cpu's, making the new 200fsb AMD's untouchable.

This angers me. So what if Intel can't do what it did before or compete with AMD any longer. Competition is what counts here for us as the consumers, and if AMD kills all its opponents like then we'll be paying more for AMD's because it will be all thats left.

But I guess in this world only the strong survive.

That's funny I thought I was going to buy 50% of Intel. Intel must be doing stuff behind my back, well I guess I will not be doing buisness with them. Hey hineigger don't you have better things to do with your time then to make things up. You do know all you get is people who will make fun of you. Do you like the reactions from the people, if so good to other and post funny things there or post what if's.

I heard that AMD is being paid my intel to hold back on technology advancement, R&D, due to intels inability to work out what sort of RAM is best for them. The report i read was saying that AMD arn't happy with the deal and have offered intels research teams and comp. engineers positions as factory supervisers, can this be for real.

If he doesn't die, he'll get help!!!

Cant you guys have a serious conversation??

I swear if Intel guys hear something they don't like they just refuse to have a serious conversation about it. Grow up.

He kind of has a scary point though. Intel could set up a dummy corp to buy AMD. To them it would only be chump change. Then AMD would be held back by shareholders. Oh no that's already happening, guess Intel doesn't have to waste the money.

to start a "serious" conversation we need facts...

I could start a converation that IBM is gonna team up with Texas instruments and buy back cyrix from Via...would anyone beleive me...hell no!

If you are gonna start a provocitive thread you need a foundation...and you have not provided that...give us the facts and we will talk!

I would be very interested to see that article...provide a link and a i am sure we could brew up quite a conversation...

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:

The irony is that if AMD could even buy half of what Intel's economical chart looks like, they:
1)Can't afford that much
2)They'd spend all their company's money, so they'd be done in the transition of funds, lol.

Hineigger is gonna be on his way out if he tries to play dumb like this. There were trolls once, and then there were idiot troll-wannabees. I'm considering getting Fredi's attention on Hin and Pope.

popes annoying, but can at least be amusing occasionally, and its funny watching everyone get pissed with him,

but this guys a fvcking nut and should be banned for writing unfounded cr@p thats misleading, pointless and obviously made up.

"keyboard error or no keyboard present, press F1 to continue or DEL to enter setup" spot the deliberate mistake
