I've read this rumor elsewhere and I don't get it. Intel pushed the Ultrabook concept to increase their sales of expensive processors, and it has worked. Reports suggest that the high end notebook market has grown 30+% year over year. That is huge for Intel. It doesn't matter if the whole...

Intel is producing Atom at just 32nm, because they have not gone after this market aggressively in the past. They probably viewed it more as an inexpensive chip market rather than a performance market and found out that they were wrong. ARM is going to have a harder time competing with Intel...

When evaluating a competitive threat, the first step is to look at what stands in the way of a new entrant into a market. Looking at the mobile space, there are at least 4 different competing software markets on three different OSs, none of which is more than a few years old or contains code...

g00fysmileya valid point, but only half of one.while windows 8 will work on x86 and ARM only the x86 vertion will support x86 applications. so unless the number of ARM compatable programs grows alot you'll still be limited. an ARM tablet or phone with windows 8 will be nice, but a laptop or even...

I listened to that call and I wouldn't characterize what Otellini said as vowing to get 4G on to the same chip as the processor. He most certainly said integration was a priority, but he also said he wasn't ready to divulge a timetable.

ZingamDude, I doubt that Intel can take on Samsung, Apple, Texas, Nvidia, Marvel and 200 other companies that are that what is ARM. And when these companies start producing ARM CPU "good enough" for general use in laptops and desktops, Intel will become irrelevant.And if the rumors are true and...

aznshinobiOH SNAP, it's true though. AMD/Intel are far from competing with ARM in mobile industry. Mainly because ARM has the edge in power consumption per performance. Plus ARM is about to release A15, already reaching the Quad-cores for mobile use. Crazy how fast we've grown in the past 2...

As a demonstration of prior art, DikuMud, which Everquest was based upon, easily pre-dates 1998. Thus, any general patents filed by HearMe in the 1998-1999 time frame are rendered "obvious" by "prior art". This is a pure BS lawsuit which an ignorant Texas judge will probably award damages for.

This R&D center won't impact AMD's productivity in a meaningful way for quite a few years. You can't just put together an R&D center in a developing country and have it produce. New engineers don't have any idea as to what they are doing. Since you won't just be exporting Indian natives back...

I doubt Henri's options are expiring. The standard is 10 years and he hasn't been at AMD that long. I would agree that one shouldn't read much into it. Henri is a doofus PR guy that is unlikely to be able to make an intelligent decision with the inside information that he has. wow... do you...

Insiders are significantly limited on when they can trade. Further, they don't necessarily have options that are above water to trade. I wouldn't use insider activity as a gauge concerning the outlook at AMD unless a lot of activity is going on. A bunch of $0 options being cashed out...

Did you take a special English class or something? Cray does not sell as many CPUs as Dell or HP. I would wait to hear from them before announcing "no volume until 08" But then I realize that you have to disagree with me and belittle AMD. I am not belittling AMD. I am trying to correct your...
