Will Intel catch up to AMD this year?
They claim they will surpass AMD with new cpu's this year - more
powerful CPU's with less power consumption. Do you think this is true or will AMD continue to stay ahead? Is Dell still using only Intel CPU's? |

Will Intel catch up to AMD this year?
Judging from their track record,I doubt Intel will ever catch up,they've
gotten fat and lazy,and lack AMD's drive and innovation.As for Dell,if they want to sell any of those overpriced,overhyped XPS systems,they'd better make the switch to AMD soon.Me,I'll go with a custom system from a real builder with real support anytime. wrote in message oups.com...

Will Intel catch up to AMD this year?
The stuff I heard about AMD in the late 90's might still come back to
haunt them. I know they had issues getting into ceartain manufacturing settings. Issues with excel and other stuff of the like. If AMD has shaped up and not had anymore parity errors of the olden days then YES They could forseeable start ripping into intel badly. Remeber RDRAM (Rimms) and jumping on the pentium pro arcitechure too soon? Intel has the problem with "were right because we're the biggest and not because it the best" With that attitude it's not a matter of IF but WHEN they start hurting.(they are not hurting as of yet) They are sucking as far as taking care of employees as well as rampant political BS getting in the way of engineering and making this stuff work. |

I have no actual idea, but AMD and Intel are starting to remind me of Shick and Gillette. AMD is rumored to be coming out with a 4 core CPU chip soon. Next thing you know Intel will come out with a hyperthreaded 4 core system that has a little battery that makes it vibrate to "energize the electrons" :-). -- == The *Best* political site URL:http://www.vote-smart.org/ ==+ email: icbm: Delray Beach, FL | URL:http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley Free Software and Politics ==+ |

The P4 took years of good experience out of that company. Oh, and then there's the top management with no engineering degrees. Intel has *never* inflated any of their predictions or benchmarks... But they have a loooooooong way to go to catch up! Bobby |

None of what you bring up has any bearing. AMD has FAB36 up and running, and it is state of the art. It is superior to any of the fabs that Intel has. RDRAM failed because of marketing. Intel is fat and lazy, and will ultimately take the easy route, and I predict that they never will catch up completely. Intel hangs on to the Northbridge FSB, does not make true dual core, refuses to move the memory controller on-die, etc. Intel hung on to hyperthreading far too long...it was never supported. Intel just does not have a clue. Until June of 2005, their whitepaper was still claiming no one wanted 64 bit processors. Bobby |

Whether intel catches up and surpasses or not I'm sticking with AMD.
PS Dell , HP, Compaq and any other quack ripoffs suck. Alienware and Falcon Northwest is the way to go if you want to buy a computer. -- XP2600@171 PC3200 Samsung 512mb, SB Live OEM AIW9600XT, A7N8X-X WD120gb + 80gb HD 8mb buffers Plextor PX-712A, Liteon 1693S 16X Dual Layer Pioneer DVR-110D 16X - 4X Dual Layer Thermaltake Lanfire, 420 Watt PS ViewSonic 19" A91f+ CRT Micrsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick Overall Score-2066, cpu_score-2926 in 3DMark2005 basic 1078X768, No AA wrote in message oups.com...
