chips discount higher intel less levels parity percent prices sell
The old AMD used to sell its chips at a 25 to 50 percent discount to what Intel was charging. The new AMD more or less prices at parity (to Intel) and delivers higher levels of performance.
absurdly apple bet crazy ibm intel paying pays sure whatever
I don't know how much Apple pays for that IBM chip, but you can bet it's absurdly low. Apple has this crazy idea that it shouldn't have to pay as much as everyone else. And whatever it's paying for the IBM chip, I'm sure it's paying more for the Intel chip.
ahead bragging gets intel
Intel gets some bragging right here: we do something ahead of AMD for a change.
assume designed intel provide wants
Intel wants to get them out in a hurry. I would assume they have a longer-term plan, probably around 45-nanometer technology, to provide a more comprehensively designed quad-core.
brings challenge dollar faces five generation half highlights intel market next past products quarters second share shift truly
The dollar share shift over the past five quarters is truly unprecedented in this market segment, and highlights the challenge Intel faces as it brings next generation products to market in the second half of the year.
ahead architecture competition face far intel months moves predict soon tougher
AMD will face tougher competition once Intel moves to the new architecture. But it's far too soon to be able to predict who's going to be ahead 18 months from now.
changed compete intel market permanent technology viewed
I think the market has changed in a permanent way from ... 2000, when AMD was viewed as a second-tier supplier who didn't have the technology to compete with Intel at all levels.
challenge forward intel release saying superior technology unlikely
It's very unlikely that Intel would win, ... But once Intel does release that chip, AMD will have the challenge going forward of demonstrating that its dual-core technology is superior to that of Intel, while Intel will be saying to its customers, 'If you want a dual-core processor, we've got it.'
box forcing intel looking people perform point purely superior view whether
That, of course, is the 64-bit question, ... Whether the AMD box can perform like IA-64 on Itanium. If the AMD box can do it, we'd be looking from a purely architectural point of view at a superior solution, because Intel is forcing people to make a compromise.

act competitor deal due factors intel internal problem space
Intel has never really had to deal with a competitor in the x86 space that had its act together. But how much of the problem is due to AMD's competitiveness, and how much is due to internal factors like chipsets and inventories?
according case happens korean smoke
In the case of Japan, there was smoke and there was fire, at least according to the FTC there, and we'll see what happens to the Korean one.
advantages degree dual far higher opposed power sharing
Having a more intelligent quad-core, as opposed to the dual dual-core, translates to better power usage and, in theory, far better performance. The advantages are that you get a higher degree of sharing with caches and buses.
bragging rights
Sun, for at least two weeks, had bragging rights about that.
