    Other influencers on CPU production: copper

    http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/1310AP_Chile_Escondida.html I was just reading this article on a strike in Chili at a large copper mine. I know there have already been issues with copper supply. With more Intel trying to ramp up their new set of processors and AMD trying to increate...

    "All About Socket F"

    Socket F has minimal performance increases... along the same lines as AM2. I don't know what we are supposed to get out of a DP server benchmark 9nm...

    What is Intel thinking?

    Just another thought to throw out there: With the 5.4b purchase price, AMD could have built another two fabs. Maybe Intel did this to undercut AMDs ability to mass-produce CPUs. This may not be a big deal now, but how will AMD now keep up with Intel pushing their "new CPU every two years"...

    It wasn't really meant to be serious. More to tie everything together :) I made this post as more of a joke, but there are times when I have wondered if maybe he really is trying to help out Intel with some of his claims 8O

    9-Inch: Actually pro-Intel?

    I don't know if this justifies a thread, but here's a theory for you all: Mr. 9nm has been the voice of AMD on these forums, along with BaronMatrix and a few MMM clones sprinkled in there for the heck of it. His messages are always pro-AMD in nature, and by all appearances he is a staunch AMD...

    Does Core 2 enforce AMD's claim that Intel is a monopoly?

    I don't think using MS as an equivalent to Intel is really a fair comparision. In answer to the original question I don't think that Core 2 strengthens AMD's argument that Intel is a monopoly. In actuality, if Intel was all it claimed to be, the response of an innovative and (vastly) superior...

    Intel's Profit Drops 57%

    Two things to point out. 1) This isn't a surprise. Intel actually met their projections for this Quarter (adjusted from Q1). AMD is having a huge price cut on July 24th to compete with the new Core 2 products. All of those price cuts have a HUGE affect on ASP, and decreasing volume will also...

    Whenever I delete it trys to open

    Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?) I've noticed this too. One thing I also notice, it never seems to happen when I use the regular "Enter" key, only when I use the one on the numpad. Maybe that will be of help? "cquirke (MVP Windows...

    changing shortcuts in XP start menu (ex. My Music)

    Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?) The way I have my computer set up, I have a small partition for the Windows OS, and a large, roughly 400 gig RAID set up across 3 discs. Because of this, I wish to store my files on the storage drive, and not on the OS...
