What's an AMD ? Know I heard that acroynm a long time ago, maybe a decade or two? They were supposed to dominate something or other, can't remember what.
Oh, weren't they the main competitor of Cyrex? Weren't they the first one to put multi-media profiles on their chips. First in anti-virus too IIRC?. Or were they the ones that abused a licensing agreement to "invent" their own x86 compatible chips? Been so long ago, I get confused
Guess they dominated the brands who weren't going to survive, but? one must ask the question on whether or not this AMD thing had anything to do with their demise, or if it was Darwiniasm at it's best?
Had it not been the millions and billions of stars, wait - that's someone else, okay - if it had not been for the billions of dollars the courts ordered Intel to pay AMD, would AMD still be alive or would they have gone the way of Cyrex, Radio Shack, and all the other non-players?
Looking more and more that AMD, whatever it is, will survive as a niche player at best.
Oh well
