  1. Comment - AMD Renews Antitrust Rhetoric, Reopening Intel + HP Complaint

    (Feb 1, 2007 - 2:16 PM)

    Just a little something to add.

    AMD didn't have a superior product until they went away from the licensing agreement with Intel...and then broke the 1GHz barrier first. They then built a core that was faster and better even though it ran at a slower frequency. Intel had to change there core to get ahead which in any normal enviroment...i.e. ATI/nVidia...is quite normal all the time.

    So basically you had about 20 years of AMD number 2...Intel number 1. Then AMD number 1 for about 3-4 years and now Intel number 1 for the last 6 months. Expect each of them to stay ahead of each other on 6 month terms from now on.

    Oh...and if someone told you "Sorry we can't sell your product here because it might piss this guy off" how would you feel?

    Another Intel fanboi..?

    Fact is that Intel used it's market position to TELL computer builders to only use there products. Sorry to tell you but most computer buyers... i.e. the general public...don't care what processor comes in a system and especially at the time of when AMD is talking about...about 3 to 8 years ago. What a user looks at was cost. That is why there are still Cyrix boxes lurking around from just about 5 years ago.

    Intel didn't build a better mousetrap...they kept using the same crappy one and as AMD started to show signs of life and developed a competitive product Intel squashed them by unfair competition. Do you understand that? Probably not.

    When a company makes sure that 90 to 100% of all your products contain theirs...does the consumer have a choice? What choice do you have when a computer builder is 100% Intel because Intel said "do as I say or I will cost you billions".

    If you are HP and you get a major discount for buying 90 to 100% Intel then what do you do when AMD shows up? We all know that Intel processor prices are inflated but how much of a discount did they actually give HP for NOT taking on AMD? What would happen if HP did take AMD's offer and Intel did raise HP's cost? Instead of $1000 pc you need to fork over $1200 for an Intel chip...or you could buy AMD at $800....or less...remember...HP turned down 1 million free processors...because of Intel's threats.

    By the way your time line of AMD to Intel sucks ass. I suggest you go back and learn the true nature of the chip market before you keep on spewing your pro-Intel gibberish. The SOI chip model is no longer a clone...I suggest reading about "why" AMD has always cloned Intel. Furthermore you might want to know where Intel's 64-bit extensions came from. Just a hint...the "few real innovations" quote shows that you have no idea what deals AMD and Intel truly have which means you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to AMD v. Intel.

    PS...Microsoft was already sued and lost or settled in several cases for antitrust and there are more going on right now...I would seriously stop posting that which you know nothing about.
