What competition are you dorks referring to?

I bet most of you have no idea how AMD was started...

Well...

Take Intels best engineers back in the 70's, and piss them off, let them defect to some other company... AMD.

Did you also know that AMD was subsidized by Intel Corporation so that Intel could avoid being a monopoly and other anti-trust laws?

Now their investment appears to be too much competition for them. I am sure that Intel did not invest without partial ownership in the company.

I bet the higher "ups" at Intel laugh when people cry about which processor is better,, I am willing to bet they own most of both companies.

So, next time you want to cry about which processor is better, just think, they already have the technology for 7 or 8 new types of processors down the road. They will soak you for every step up from where they are now when if it was a true competition, these processors we have now would be old old news.

Quit crying.

Please correct your grammar so that I do not have to.

Also, I bet the mods have some kind of "Terms of Agreement" that state users that use offensive "slang terms" like "dumbass" are subject to a user delete and ban.

Correction, I am a nerd, I refrain from crying. I do, however, like to correct the incompetent. I won't always correct spelling mistakes, because everyone makes them, but your command of the english language is well, how do I say, amazing.

Lock and ban? Why, isn't this a welcome change from all of the fanboy flame wars?

Even though it's an unfounded conspiracy-type theory, it's still interesting. If I cared a little more I would do some research into whether or not Intel owns the majority of shares in AMD (doubtful), or any at all (much more probable).

I think this is an interesting subject, and should not be immediately flamed just because it insults someone who obviously has some insecurities about their social status.

Intels should be "Intel's." It is posessive. Again, misuse of ellipsis before AMD. It should be a colon or semi-colon.

Thier is misspelled. It's Their. Also, you're referring to a proper known that doesn't belong in the same paragraph, so you're supposed to refer to the noun directly.

Where do I begin? "Ups" is not a word. Whos should be whose.

Jackass:

Did you just make all that up?

1st off... AMD was spun off from a group of engineers from FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR. Not intel. In fact, both Gordon Moore and Jerry Sanders worked for Fairchild.

2nd, AMD was never subsidized by Intel. All Intel did (back in the 80's) was have AMD make 8086, 8088, and 80286 processors under a licensing agreement. AMD was in effect a 2nd source for the manufacturing of INTEL chips. And that's hardly significant... plenty of companies do that today. And it's NOT subsidizing.

Must have been a while ago. Can't find anything on Google about it. Got a link?

If it did happen I would guess that it is for a relatively small amount of shares. Similar to when Microsoft infused Apple with some need cash a few years ago.

I think you misread. Whos should be who's. Its possessive. Also, higher ups is a plural (and misspelling) of higher-up. That is a commonly used term - at least I've seen it used for 20-some years. Why other dictionaries don't have it I don't know. I mean, "ain't" is in a dictionary now...

One who gripes should check their post to make sure there's nothing to be griped back at.

LOL. But he does know when to capitalized. And that you're is a
contraction for "you are". But he lost me, when he states that you have to use the contraction form. I must be a dumba** also.

Reply to tmac

I really don't want to get into a grammar war, because we're all guilty of using poor grammar in online posts, myself included.

At any rate allow me to correct you

"Whose" is the posessive form of Who. "Who's" can only mean "Who is". Pronouns themselves cannot be posessive.

You're right: "Higher-ups" is considered a word. I can't keep track of all new dictionary additions (and unlike most I don't google/reference everything to make a point). "Higher-ups" would normally be considered a phrase which cannot be pluralized.

Again, though, it's not the point. I was trying to prove that although he edited his 2nd post well, he was in no position to be critisizing.

First...
"An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence. Ellipses are sometimes used in this manner for internet chat, email, and forum posts". (Wikipedia)

The use of ellipsis is an entirely different conversation. I could say that you are wrong, but I will refrain from taking that road. Many different people have different opinions on how and where to use them, but in general, anytime you are making a break in your conversation they can be used, and they get the point across.

Second.
You're right, the question mark should be in place of the period, I stand corrected.

Third.
Like I said, I do not correct people for spelling mistakes, so piss off on the spelling .

Fourth:
Ups is not a word, and should be put in quotation marks. You're Right. The useage did get the message across.

Nice Mr. Deane, Very nice!

I would like to know who is making processors for all the IPods and hand-held gaming devices. That would be worth some money, or possibly the hard drives for these units as well.

With the recent news of Seagate dismantling Maxtor, I bet they are making a power play to get more of the micro-drive buisness.

I don't believe this be true and please correct me if I am wrong. According to this reliable source, AMD was created by a group of defectors from Fairchild Semiconductor (the article says nothing of anyone leaving Intel to goto work with AMD). At first AMD only produced logic chips and RAM but later reversed engineered an Intel 8080 compatible chip 1975. It wasn't until 1982 when AMD became licensed to produce Intel chips. Intel allowed AMD to do this because in order to get IBM to use 8088 processors in their computers, it required a second source for its chip, thus Intel let AMD produce chips for them. Anyways a few years pass, the agreement with IBM breaks, any Intel tells AMD that they no longer will be producing chips on their behalf. That doesn't mean AMD license to produce Intel clone chips has gone away. When clone chips start selling Intel gets pissed and sues. AMD retains the rights to produce x86 capable processors and the rest is history. It had nothing to do with being a monopoly epecially with other big cometors like Texas Instruments and Motorola during this time. At this time Intel wasn't nearly as big as it is today.

If anything I said here is untrue please post a link proving me wrong as I would like to know.

I do agree with you entirely about chip makers having new technologies ready for release long before they actually are released, but that’s business. If I could make millions off milking each improvement to processors by waiting a few months then I would be doing the same thing. Each manufacture has taken the lead then fallen behind over the years and it bound to continue to happen. I don't get upset over this because there is nothing I can do except look at who has the lead at the moment upgrade accordingly.

Intel has bought out AMD several times by now, but they didnt get "real" stocks (which means that they dont own a single percent of AMD) they just had to help AMD otherwise Intel would have been split up (just like M$ few years ago).

Many AMD Fanpois tend to overlook this fact (obviously).

Intels should be "Intel's." It is posessive. Again, misuse of ellipsis before AMD. It should be a colon or semi-colon.

Definately colon. Semi-colon is used only to attatch two like-minded independant clauses together without need for a comma & conjunction. "AMD" is not an independant clause because while it contains a subject it lacks a verb. This would make it a dependant clause at best, which would technically mean the writer could place it at the end of the sentence with no puntuation necessary, but then cadance of the sentence would be all messed up and would make the "some other company" phrase incredibly redundant. This author uses WAY too many commas and elipses in his writings anyways. It's almost "Shatnerish".
