Bye Bye AMD
 

This is real bad news ........... will Intel even try anymore ........ :ohcrap:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-N...e-237103.shtml

I think they are in for a can of woopass in the mobil scene as well :scared:

Anybody know if there is any merit to this ???

AMD hasn't been competing for years :D

Could suck on the priceage though :thumbdown:

I see Kal was mentioned in the article :)

SHIT! where is my ass?
I think I laughed my ass off now I can't find it anymore....


but think again, if AMD is out of the picture will intel even try anymore cuz that's one of the few motivation they had before AMD decided to suck some major corn holes......

I don't think there is much evidence that pressure from AMD has driven the Intel innovation machine for decades (if ever). I'm thinking that once AMD started competing in the courtroom rather then teh marketplace the writing was on the wall.

Intel is an "industry driver". With Intel's market share and capitalization it would be daunting task, and therefore a very high risk proposition for any investors looking to challenge Intel in their own ballpark. First they would need massive monetary injections just to open the door, then, they would need to develop an earth shattering product that would revolutionize the industry, and harder still, be in any position to ramp up production to a scale able to complete with Intel.

Next would be years of litigation where Intel claims copywright infringement and ties up a new comapaies resources locked inside a court case. They would find it hard to introduce their first produt for many years until teh courts make a decision one way or the other.

umm... not to mention the software that runs the world is written to run on Intel processors

Each innovative property they add to their product line, the create another revenue stream. It is simply to their advantage to constantly introducing new devices with greater functionality.

Marketing is inexpensive since the have no real comptitors.

Pricing should be kept close to current, not withstanding any severe market destructive influences like Obama getting set to help them like he helped Gibson Goutars :rofl:

Intel is one of the few companys rated strong enough to survive another SEVERE economic downturn, and they consistently pay dividends. I don't see the lack of AMD competition :rofl::rofl: but I suspect thier price point won't move much if any because their current pricing strategy seems to drive their business model extremely well.

I agree AMDs will get it's ass kicked in teh mobile market for the reason's it tanked and buned on teh desktop.

Unless of course, they are wiling to give the chips away below :keeporder:

IMO of course

WOW MD! that's very detailly broken down.
TBH most the games I know they are mainly Intel/nVidia based I honestly never got the idea of why AMD bought out ATi in the first place. The only time I went AMD over Intel was back during the Athlon XP years, it was faster and got a little extra room to play with. But ever since the 775 Intel took off, it went up so fast they AMD really didn't have a chance.

After I got my first 775 setup I tried AMD again I promised myself I'd never go AMD again, it went from Project Blue to Project code name Pain in my (THE) ass couldn't sale that rig fast enough.

I have always felt that AMD have always been trying to come after Intel's ideas, remember the Netbook? Intel Atom chips? then years later they just came out with the AMD Neo most people don't even know that chip, because it was SO FUCKING SLOW! they completely down sized the chip so extremely slow it can't really run Vista. From what I remembered it was about the same speed as the 478 Pentium 4 mobile chip Centrino (first gen) then Intel went 479 which is still in most laptops that's got Core 2 based chips before them went 988 or 1388 what ever the hell those 1st gen Core i7/i5/i3's are.

Then the new Bulldozer happened......
They hit 8GHz like crazy gotta give them that!
Ain't gonna lie tho I'm really thinking about getting a set of those and just hit 8GHz then set that sum'bitch on fire and be done with it :D


(is there a AMD chip that's faster then Intel in anyway? I remember reading about Bushiller is faster then 2600k on mutimedia encoding or something)

IDK how much time I have left, but before I die I MUST HIT 8GHz!
Edit: at least once

This is not news. AMD said quite a while ago that they were looking to expand their mobile and UVLP processor lineup, since that in effect is where the money is at teh minute.

That said, no where did AMD actually it say was giving up on desktop processors, and considering how well their low power desktops chips are performing, I see many years of AMD desktops in the future.

So sick of editorials being posted as news.

Hopefully I can get my hands on a bulldozer after Christmas to see if it is as bad as they say. Biggest issue I thought was the power draw.

It's not like the ULP and mobile segment is so free of very good companies ( Intel, Texas Instruments, nVIDIA "Kal-El", etc ) :P

Not meant to be posted as news Rich, was posting to see if anyone new if there was any validity to the artical........... :)

Well that is insightful Daawg

AMD Athlon 64 was the the motivation behind the tic toc release cycle we now enjoy, they in effect woke a sleeping giant. form P4 bloated hell where intel was in a reactionary R & D cycle

Reminds me of pearl Harbor in a sick twisted demented way.

I hope they do stay in the game as it only takes one good idea to close the preformance gap, Shame they have not hit the nail on te head latley but they make very capable gaming chips and said not to cold bug, but never tested that .... :blush:

Lets not forget top clock in history as well ........ :thumbsup:

Back in the day I was an avid AMD guy until core tech was born from a chip called centrino ........

Gotta love the new nv Kal El chip named after the boss ............. :clapping:
Think the use it in the samsung Galaxy, but not sure

There's no Kal-El pda/phone yet.
The Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy SII aren't Kal-El based either.

I was nto saying you posted it as News witchy. Just been roaming around the internet a bit lately and see a lot of "new posters" out there that are putting up editorials as news.

(When someone injects their own opinions into a news article it is an editorial, and it always BASED on news...)


Yes there is a lot of competition already in the UVLP markets, but AMD has been working towards it for a while now. Look at their low pwer desktop chips, Fusion/Llano whatever its called. That shit is great, I built a a-6 cpu setup for a buddy of mine, ran windows 7 while running linux and XP in VMs perfectly, no stuttering no slowdowns. Just excellent tech.

Why they didn't make a 8 core version of this I do not know. I would surmise that architecturally it would not be capable of 5GHz performance?

I though Superman chips are from nVidia am I wrong again? Q.Q

they are nvidia built yes

Long time coming but a good move. PC market is dying, mobile is exploding. Go where the $ is.

Dear AMD......

Oh dear Mr.Splave!
That pretty much made my day!

But correct me if I am wrong, but nVidia pretty much got the mobile phone and tablet market and Intel pretty much got most of the mobile computer market I REALLY don't see how AMD is gonna try break into YEARS of work and all the reputation has been built up already.....

hahahahahahahahahaha
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

LOVE IT :D

BTW. I'm working on an extreme cooling solution for overclocking my Droid X ... keep your lips sealed, there are spies everywhere :keeporder:

You gotta hack your fone first bro!
and after that it's easy as hell i monna be overclocking the HTC EVO this winter break

Damm Al ..........

My freaking beer is coming out of my nose dude.......... I am not sure I will survive the ordeal ..... :laughing:

Damn already drinking :rofl

Hell yea..... I been home for 20 minutes :thumbsup:

man im still at work you bastage! Guess working late one day a month (not benching lol) aint so bad

It's called grown up

U still mad :laughing:

I need a drink :D

Me to... But I'm at work :(

Don't we all? :D
The worst part is I am 21 already and I still have to hide my drinks

Cuz Ur not grown up and have no balls :rofl

And you are the one talking? :blink:

my stuff is in the frezer not scared that i have to hide it like a...... :taunt:

well anyone see this

AMD still committed to x86
http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/29/2...mmitted-to-x86

I saw that too, I am not sure what to think of it atm

What do you mean DOM, he's of legal drinking age :D

The road map goes beyond 2013.

BullDozer PileDriver, SteamRoller and then 2014, Excavator.

If they are leaving the market, it won't be in the next three years or more.

What they said, and will supposedly be doing is not FOCUS into high performance desktop CPUs.
As in, they'll still release new chips, etc, but won't be the product of a "huge effort" in order to tie or surpass Intel.

In other words, expect BD v2, BD v3 ( with both being significantly slower than the new Intel CPUs that will come ).

All doomsaying aside AMD chips are flying off the shelves especially their APU's. Show be a SB or SB-E that will do 8GHz as well. I don't think AMD has intended to release a product for a long time that would surpass Intel and have said so before this came out. Bulldozer was intended to surpass Deneb which it did. They have been realistic about their inability to go toe to toe with Intel for a long time now so I see this as nothing new.

For them doing so poorly I sure do see a lot of "just bought an 8120/8150" threads floating around the internet.

Yea I see a lot of that as well, but I think for the porposes of what we typically are focused on around here AKA world records they just are not a viable solution although great hardware grinders fo sho

How many FX-8120s & FX-8150s you guys think they have actually sold ? ( sold to clients, not to distributors, not that these numbers will be unbalanced in this case, with AMD's very limited 8120 & 8150 supply )

I do not know but I have to think not as many as they would have liked

I see these chips making a splash in the oem market for lower cost grinding solutions

They run Facebook rather well...................:laughing:

:rofl: made a slight adjustment WD (above) :rofl:
