Here's a thought. If AMD is doing this much damage to Intel and taking this much market share from Intel with out advertising, Intel fans should be glad AMD doesn't advertise.

Wait this is nothing, yet. In a little while we will get the palomino, 760MP, mamba, crush etc.

AMD owns 20%+ of the SOHO market. O%-1% of the corporate market right now and look how much Intel is hurting. And they are a hurting(just look at the last few quarters-Thats AMD's doing not just the economy). Now imagine what happens in the next 6 to 12 months with AMD taking market share from intel at the high-end(corporate computers). Never mind that they will probably start an MP system revolution for SOHO users.

You factor in that the P4 underperforms(look at the latest benchmarks)- coupled with rebates to deal with there expensive memory choice and the only thing going right for intel is that they got the x-box for xmass 2001. As far as I can tell, maybe somebody can enlighten us with other things Intel is doing right. But Please not Fugger or Meltdown, Someone who knows what they are talking about.

Hope AMD doesn't advertise like Intel does...

That's bunch of assholes wearing some kind of NBQ suits sporting the colors of the Gay Pride flag dancing or traveling through exotic countries in some kind of super van with Intel Inside stickers.

The best advertising for AMD is person to person advertising.
