Want to eat into business desktop market

By INQUIRER staff: Monday 15 May 2006, 07:22
NVIDIA AND AMD are readying to give Intel a bloody nose in the business market, confirming our earlier reports it's readying a full frontal attack on Chipzilla.

See Nvidia, AMD square off against Intel business PCs.

According to Echannel Line, Nvidia has signed up the top 20 system integrators worldwide to take a chunk out of Intel's arm and Dell's leg.

The initiative, according to Nvidia product manager, could eat 20 million business PCs in its first year.

The corporate market has so far been an uphill struggle for AMD on the desktop front, but its foothold with servers allied to an Nvidia reference mobo could give it a fighting chance to make some wins. µ

Yeah. Dell Sucks Nacho Libre BallZ. But Change your Intel Fanboy thing on ur Stats. Conroe EE 3.33Ghz is really starting to make me think about becoming a Intel fan now. Althoguh i'm getting a Opteron 175@ 2.8Ghz and the Conroe E6700 or Maybe the 3.34Ghz EE Conroe. Yay the 2 Fastest Computers in Toronto. I hope and wish i'm the first!!!!!!!

Curious that you post the article on a forum. So--you DID get permission from the author, right?

This article doesn't matter a whole lot I suppose, being that it is speculation. Also, NVIDIA is used in many Dell systems still, so I doubt NVIDIA would want to go against one of their allies at this point. I could be wrong. If so...nice knowing ya NVIDIA.

Funny how by reading a post you can tell who the kids are and who the adults are. First of all, Conroe's spectacular benchmarks are a myth, until its released. Everything you have read has been an "engineering sample". Remember how intel pimped the Prescott "engineering samples". Haha.
Either way, I hope conroe kicks ass, cause thats just going to bring intel its first real competative processor in 2 years. That will bring the prices down for us all. But we all know, AMDis not about to stop its market rape when it's been gaining market for so long. They will keep pace trust me. Intel has been following amd's archietecture in order to catch up. Thats why the new core duo's are not clocked very high. Intel finally realized clock speed and cache mean nothing with their current architecture.

Other than speculation of K8L what else is there? I read a lot, web pages, forums etc for tech news and all I have heard about is K8L in distance and K10 in late 2008, maybe.

You may want to read this (http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT030906143144) before speculating too much about the architecure. Of course this all comes from a person that will buy whatever performs the best and has no real loyalty to either AMD or Intel, but rather to my wallet.

There weren’t any Prescott engineering samples that were pimped or hot-rodded.

Just to say, I like Dell their service is excellent.
I recommend them to non-computer literate friends.

However on the subject, but shouldn't AMD and NVidia try harder to work with Dell rather than againts.

AMD did it with SUN and now some of SUN's X86 based servers are Opterons. We bought a few and they work great.

Perhaps I am invisible--?

Not trying to throw a tantrum, but c'mon guys--this is the inquirer! Not to mention the fact that DVDpiddy's post is against TGFORUMZ policy and frankly against "theinquirer.net"'s usage policy to COPY their article without written permission. I didn't want to come off as an arrogant ??ick or a tattle-tell, but at this point I may just have to blow the whistle.

MrsD you are way misinformed, what you have just stated about the Conroe benchmarks being a myth or false. Not to mention the whole debate about engineering samples being better than retail products is ludicrous and has been proven so by others far more knowledgeablethan I. But just use some common sense here, why in the hell would retail processors be worse than the engineering sample? I mean if they found out how to create the engineering sample, and assuming that it meets their expectation, then all they need to do is repeat what they did on massive scale.

dvdpiddy, you used to be at least a reasonable sort of guy....

Now that the mods have told 9-inch to stick it after they finally realised that 8O this site isn't 9-inch's blog 8O we don't need someone to fill his shoes, do we now.
