OMG! AMD JUST DROPPED $6 TO $8.84!

oh, i must be dreaming... market is closed today.

:lol:

Prediction for tomorrow?

Nah. Real prediction for tomorrow: flutter around where it's at now and settle a few cents up or down. No real news over the long weekend. But if our hallowed and omnipotent Intel insider JKflipflop is correct as usual, look for the latest toboggan ride to start in a couple of months! 8)
 
Found this post on Acesharwre by WaltC, and thought i'd post it here. Pretty accurate imo.
No signifance to the color scheme. IOW, I have no idea who anyone works for.

I don't remember that being proven so why not wait for the court to pass a verdict instead of throwing cheap accusations.


Cheap? Trust me, launching this suit has cost AMD a fortune...😉 "Cheap" is hardly the word I'd use at all. Second, everybody knows the story of Dell and its massive Intel subsidies by heart now, so let's take the blinders off and stop pretending we don't know that as soon as Intel informed Dell the subsidies for exclusivity were at an end (not too long after AMD launched its suit and Intel offices around the globe were raided by the authorities in various countries), Dell picked up AMD. That's a publicly known fact, and there's nothing "cheap" about it. Why on earth would you think that Dell would have waited to be the last man standing in relation to selling AMD, especially when HP was crushing them in market share with AMD, if not for the Intel subsidies peculiar only to Dell? When those dried up, Dell decided it had better start competing or else suck it up and settle for second or third string from here on out.

I don't think AMD will have trouble proving its case in court in relation to that particular Intel behavior. Of them all, that's the most well known and the easiest to prove, imo. And it isn't just the story of AMD, either: every single x86 cpu company to arise, bar none, with the exception of AMD, has been run slap out of business by Intel's "competitive" tactics. Finally of a size and market slice to suit it, AMD launched the suit because it decided it wasn't going to take it anymore--and that about sums it up, imo. It will be a cold day in Hades, indeed, when I shed tears for Intel (poor, little, abused, misunderstood *thing*)...😀

Well, No. Core 2 and Dothan are essentially the same product, just labeled incorrectly.
Click to expand...
Following your logic Dothan is essentially the same product as Pentium Pro, which means that Core2 and Pentium Pro are essentially same products. Considering the differences between Pentium Pro and Core2 and according to your logic, we can conclude with great certainty that Pentium Pro is essentially the same product as 8086. So, 8086 is essentially the same product as Core2, but are named differently because some noob-workers have not finished their primary school and are unable to read Core2 properly. :roll:
Naravno brate. Since 6502, they are all the same processor :)

No news isn't necessarily good news in this case the price war rages on. One hour in and AMD is down .02 looks like it may be more than a few cents off today. INTEL is off .030 as well looks like investors are headed off to hide in the tall grass after Sandisk announced their hatchet job Friday.

Freefall... already 1.7%. I'd hate to be in the AMD boardroom this morning! Maybe we should all sing the glowworm song!

Barely an hour into the market and AMD is already down 1.3%. And this is with private equity sniffing around!

The "news" is old enough that the last two trading days had reflected the news. But for today the whole sector is pointing downwards due to Sandisk's job cuts.

Sandisk is a leading flash memory module assembler. The announcement of 40% cut on the modules means that the NAND flash memory price is going downwards. And the two biggest NAND flash memory manufacturer, Spansion (1st) and Intel (2nd), will be affected. AMD, being one of the biggest holders of Spansion, will point downward also.

Sandisk today, HP tomorrow, then ??? AMD will just keep sliding down toward 13 with a little dead cat bounce then on down again until it fights to stay above 10. The barbarians are at the gates X2 6000+ blah pretty bland, R600, K10 where are you. Maybe we should rename Hector I believe Hector's new name should be Willie Makit .......

If Intel is going up, then I would say AMD is weak. But now Intel is also going down for about 1%.
 
The AMD INTEL price war is weighing down both stocks and INTEL is taking a hit from the Sandisk announcment today. INTEL is in better shape though because AMD doesn't have the cash position of INTEL and will be running dry by summer. The lack of a clear competitor to the Core2Duo architecture, bleeding cash, 65 nano meter gain nothing chips doesn't give the market any warm fuzzy short term feeling about AMD.

Also note that you're comparing a $122B market cap against a $8B one. And that right at this minute, INTC is only down 0.09%.

But please don't underestimate the market-shredding potential of AMD's new 65nm Single Cores! The answer to a question nobody posed. :roll:

Exactly the point INTEL is down $.020 at opening because of the announcement that Sandisk was chopping heads.

"SanDisk said industry-wide prices for NAND flash memory chips had fallen about 50 percent over the past two months due to excess supply and seasonally weak demand in the first part of the year."

Anyone who saw the rate those things flew off the shelf on Black Friday at $3.00-$4.00 for 1MB flash cards and flash drives I bought 4 flash cards and 4 flash drives I didn't really need but when are you going to get flash cards and drives for literally a couple bucks. The market knew this would go badly for Sandisk later that is why they have been trending down the last couple months. Now the market for flash memory devices is soft so they chop some heads. Everyone in the markets knew this was going on and it is reflected in the stock prices. The drop of INTEL today is strictly a market reflex reaction to bad news. Some fund manager see "SANDISK TO CUT 10% OF WORKFORCE DUE TO WEAK DEMAND" scroll across the screen and they bail out of anything related to memory chips because it's going to drop it is literally a reflex reaction.

AMD opened at Friday close and proceeded to lose $.020 within the first hour and stay there throught the day. Sandisk and Intel opened lower and then gained back some of that loss because there was an over reaction to the news. The point is Intel dropped on bad news even though it was expected by Sandisk whereas AMD is depressed by fundamentals.

Yeah. For some odd reason, they are sensitive on that particular part of their anatomy.

Hmm... I dunno what that means. Is it somewhat along the lines of:
