MooseMan said:yea, it's not that i don't think it's funny but it really shouldn't have been posted on AMD's professional website. it's pretty immature of a corprate company to do such a thing. as arrizx said
TreeHugger said:HOW can you say this...do you not know what intel has done to AMD. Unfair business tatics, monopolising the cpu market, and the list goes on and on. I think amd has the right to make fun of intel, because AMD should be makingthe same amount of profits or higher profits than intel,because their product is just as good or better IMO. But they don't, because intel is cheating. Thus, the lawsuit. And you guys are talking about immaturity.......geeze look at the big picture. INTEL is the immature one.
Mr. Feesh said:Yes it is immature of AMD to poke fun at a competitor as they did. But if anyone done their research Intel has more sales then AMD. It is bullshit to say that Intel uses unfair tactics and are monopolizing on the CPU market. in order to be a monopoly they would have to be totally forcing AMD out of business; if AMD wants to make the product the leading CPU on the market they will need to make a better product, market it better and make it more appealing to the average consumer. Now if I am correct, and I know I am, then AMD is using the unfair tactic here. Intel has never made fun or any competitor, and if I am Wrong then show me the link. And a competitive product ad is not unfair.
arrizx said:Woah, im at a loss, on how Intel is using unfair business tatics, i mean look at it this way, the world revolves around competition, and as you said they are tatics, that does not mean their unfair..
Arrizx said:And because of their "tatics" they make a better profit, because they sell to schools, and businesses, i mean i have yet to see a school with Amd's.
Arrizx said:Explain how intel is cheating, and being unfair. I mean, its not making jokes about Amd, its not being immature, like Amd, Intel is winning the game, with sales, and Amd did this, because they know, Intel is making more money, its just their immature way and probably the only way to get back at Amd..
CNET.com News said:Desktop computers and notebooks with AMD chips accounted for 49.8 percent of PCs sold in domestic stores for the month, compared with Intel's 48.5 percent of the market, according to the Current Analysis report.
"AMD did the unthinkable by surpassing Intel in October. Continuing to hold this lead in the holiday season would be a colossal win for the company," Matt Sargent, Current Analysis research director, said in a statement.
Last month, AMD's slice of the U.S. retail store pie reached 67.7 percent for desktops, up from 52 percent in September. And its share of the notebook market in that category rose to 31.5 percent in October from 26.2 percent in September.
Although AMD's overall share of the U.S. retail store market surpassed Intel based on units sold, it failed to generate more revenue than the industry giant. Intel chips, which have a higher average selling price, accounted for 57.6 percent of the U.S. retail market in October based on revenue, while AMD lagged at 40.1 percent.
Intel also is still the market leader when factoring in overall PC sales in the U.S., including machines purchased through direct sellers. That top position is bolstered by Intel's exclusive relationship with direct seller Dell, a top supplier of PCs.
