    True??? AMD to buy Intel!

    So this has been nothing but a horrible anandtech promotion? This changes everything.....I think.....no, this is still a stupid post.

    True??? AMD to buy Intel!

    Perhaps a joke, but this guy has no right to let the fanboys get their hopes up again. I mean really now they’ve been through enough. Besides, if you want to throw out a decent rumor, let’s try “AMD will sell their chip division to IBM by 2007.” When you start one of these things there must...

    IBM vs. Intel???

    Not that I wish to be thrown in with the black helicopter - conspiracy theory crowd, but I did have a thought on an observation I had. IBM is working with Apple on its 970/G5 project and we know they had a big hand in the AMD “Hammer” projects. Anyone else think that IBM maybe getting ready to...

    P5 Debate/Question

    You guys have way to much money. But don't let that stop you from shiping your old parts my way any time. I'll find a home for them for longer than 6 months.

    How fast will Intel push P4's

    What an odd thing to say. Everyone and their uncle (including tom’s hardware) said that 3.2 is it. I suggest a little bit of research prior to asking questions or answering them.

    Worlds first 64 bit desktop.Hats off to apple!!!!

    Even though the thread has all the markings of a walking talking advertisement, it dose raise a serous question. For some time now this forum has see strong worded battles between the Intel camp and the AMD fanboys. In short, could this represent a third party in our little struggle? Going...

    Athlon 64 roadmap

    This is where a faithful AMD basher/realist comes along and rains on your little parade. HELLO!!!??? 3400+, 3700+, 4000+, these are all numbers that are going to change. Not because the procs are going to be any better. But because AMD will need to make them look better to the idiots of the...

    HP lets some Athlon64 specs out of the bag

    I hear a lot of guessing going on. It is so sad that a really good idea like a 32/64-bit proc is being handled so badly by such a stupid company. To clarify: Engineering, very bright. Every one else, dumb as rocks. I will never say AMD makes bad procs. I will say, the way they do business...

    XP3200?

    I will say this once and then I’m going to go shower. Bosse did have a point in that 2.2 AMD dose out perform a 2.2 533 p4. I fell icky. However, bear in mind that as of 6/17/03 4:00 PST, pricewatch.com listed the AMD 3200+ at $440, and the Intel p4 2.26 w/533 FSB at $173. So the question that...

    opteron chips

    So what your saying is that my 286 proc is going to make me allot of money some day eh?.... Hmmm Kidding around aside...its time to know where your from. I(as well as a great multitude)am guessing outside the US. *Durrr*. This could be why you are so off on the Intel road map. 4ghz is not 15...

    opteron chips

    So when you said: “I run PC Intel or Amd dont cut it” and “Detail Lazer Glass work” was that some sort of work related inner shop pun with a fist full of typos and bad punctuation? Really now, I been in the CNC industry for a while and have no freaking idea what you are talking about. Are you...

    AMD going to 9 micron?

    I’m assuming that you understand the concept of a free market. If the consumer goes ga ga for a 64- bit chip and your competitor says their making one right now and says they’re going to give it to then soon (give or take four quarters) you don’t just sit there and say well you really don’t...
