"APPLE Finally Goes With AMD"

OK. We have Acer, HP, IBM, SUN, Dell, Voodoo, Alienware, Falcon NorthWest (and Apple) selling AMD systems. It's a matter of fact that AMD will achieve their goal of 30% market share sooner than later. 8)

A link from somewhere other than the Inquirer. WOW.

Once AMD gets 30% of the market, there will be no way intel can recover that again. All I want is AMD to capture 40-50% market share and trust me that we'll never see top-end processors costing more than $700 u.s and then that day I'll give a damn about AMD or intel.

9-Inch is right about Intel having trouble with AMD gaining market share. Intel will have a lot of excess capacity if AMD continues to gain.

Also, imagine if AMD had more revenues to invest into R&D. Their products would become even more sophisticated.

i'm very curious. what do you usually do during your normal days? just sit in front of your computer and search the entire internet for AMD's good news?

This is where your mistaken. This IS his life. He has nothing better to do that search the internet for all kinds of ******** about AMD ruling the world and such. If you look all his posts are usually just 1 post by him with some bullshit about AMD. He never defends them for the most part and now he is using blogs to get his news. I think i will go write a blog right now about AMD announcing a Hexcore CPU with 2GB cache that uses 4 watts of power. 9-inch does these posts for one thing only, he loves to see people all fired up and argue. He is a totally helpless and worthless edited.

lol

Apple shouldn't drop Intel. However, they should do the Dell thing and start working with both companies. Don't limit yourself to one supplier.

Especially since:

a) the 32 bit setups are essentially interchangable
b) you could actually use the 64-bitness of AMD's fully due to OS design better lending itself to 64 bit computing than some windows hackjob (re: XP-64)
c) you will be able to get a fully integrated solution from one company

in regards to b), IMO they really should have started with AMD and added intel later. Its not like it is a huge volume market and they NEEDED intel due to supply issues (like Dell).

Apple could benefit from amd's price cuts and those low power turions for instance.
regarding c) it could be some kind of centrino, but with graphics instead of wireless and chipset.

lmao, how true.....

QUICK EVERYBODY GOTO www.intelsux.fanboyblog.com. I got breaking news on this blog, that i just started. by the way, i am 12 and so excited to write about my favorite processor. i think AMD will soon buy Apple and Intel and then the White House. OMG i'd be so happy. so please go to my new blog and read all about it.









and before i get flamed by some retard.... read: sarcasm

i saw this months ago, but its still hilarious

Yah, its like 3 years old, but I still get a laugh out it

Peace

You could say that guy hates Macs...



I dunno, I think he was holding something back. Maybe he should make another video and just let it all out

Peace

Hey Jake Mod,

If 9nm can not find time to come back to his own OP threads please lock immediately!!!

If he is not intent on doing anything with the thread other than posting it he should be locked/banned....

Ya seriously, whatever moves market change in our favor is good. I'd buy a mac now if they'd just update adobe's software for macintel, or macamd for that matter. Besides the most immediate thing this articale talks about is the fact that AMD owns ATI and will continue to put ATI gpu's in MacIntels. What will INTEL do? Will they care? This writter says wait till August 7th so we'll see perhaps.

I've been monitoring the posts on this site for the past couple weeks and it's gotten quite dry. Content isn't the problem I'm talking about, it's posts that do little to add to a conversation like "FAIL" which is about the dumbest thing I've seen. I'm sure it's fun for you in your little playground here. Granted you all like to poke fun at 9inch and Baron because they seem to overstate a biased clip of info. I may agree with you that it's annoying but move on with your life. bickering like old men mocking them with one liners does nothing to add to a conversation and undermines this forums usefullness. Despite this article really saying nothing concrete and being pro–amd it does bring up a good question. what will happen? There's nothing wrong with talking about what ifs? and what have yous?

Moo.
It's OK MMM We Will Try And Forget You!

brain dead.

Moo.
You Bet MMM!

I see your intelligence just oozing from your first small number of posts here on THG.

You jump in violating rules of the forums and protecting a guy, who provides NO accurate information EVER. Very slick of you sir/ma'am.

9-inch has a very well defined history of dumping threads with no known facts and then retreating when confronted with the facts.

Thanks for your contribution and your last post has been reported!

Have a nice day and welcome to the forums.

Why do people insist on making comments about things they know nothing about? Apple did not use Intel at all before this year. They used IBM Power PC processors. Talk about morons.

Hey I appreciate the person that wants to stay and defend their position...

Trying to do it in the confines of the rules of these forums is the best way to do it.

Glad to see a reasonable post from ya.

AMD is poised to take market share if they can actually provide the number of chips that would require before the Conroe/Woodcrest/Merom processor roll out goes into full swing.

Having IBM/HP in their corner as the major Blade providers is a very good plus. They obviously are not going to abandon the Opteron line for Woodcrest until the clamoring is loud enough.

Just a quick comment:

Stealing marketshare from a company like Intel is a long, arduous process. Doing so takes many, many years. And often competitors like AMD will lose market share and only to regain it 2-3 years later. The key to keeping market share (IMO) is shortening your product cycle. Intel has shown time and time again that when it's significantly threatened in marketshare, it goes all out to get it back. Northwood and Core 2 Duo are prime examples of this.

What worries me with AMD is it's relatively long product cycle compared to Intel's. Intel is capable of pumping out a new chip every 6-8 months while AMD usually takes about 12 months. It may not be much, but it's enough time to lose 1-2% in market share. AMD will never be able to sustain significant marketshare unless it figures out how to shorten its product cycle so that's it's more in line with Intel's.

Agreed. And the same can be said about losing market share. It takes time. Core2 and Woodcrest are not going to cause AMD's share numbers to take a hit overnight.

Where do you come up with this number? 6-8 months? When has Intel been putting out a new chip ever 6-8 months? Like what? Hell, it took Intel nearly 4 years to counter AMD64 products. (and don't forget, Intel told us 64 bit on the desktop was not even needed)

Intel sure thinks 64 bit computing is important now:

Really? Well this is what he posted in this thread:

You call that anti-Intel BS? Looks more like a probable scenario to me. Many, many respected people on different forums have pretty much said the same thing, AMD is poised to gain even more market share.

Unless you think you know better than Acer, HP, IBM, SUN, Dell, Voodoo, Alienware, Falcon NorthWest, Cray etc. etc.

I've been following the Alienware,Voodoo,Falcon Northwest, sites for
quite some time. I currently, have alienware laptop. These sites
are now jumping on the Intel bandwagon. They have to, they build
performance gaming PCs. There are some sites like Overdrive PC,
that got rid of there Intel line a couple years ago, Guess what?
All they hear now, is conroe! conroe! How fast can you overclock a
conroe.

If you figure intel going from Pentium D, to Core Duo (yonah), to Core Duo 2 (Conroe), those are all less than 12 months product cycles. Sorry, I am factoring in mobile technologies. Should have clarified.
