Hey Dumbass, AMD could provide Apple with
...
AMD became this big because they provided this and Intel did'nt during the last 10 years or so(dumba$$)
Hey kid, your mom is Dumbass and you are even bigger Dumbass since you fell out of her Dumbass.
Now that we are done with the insults (remember that you asked for it) lets discuss the matter (that little of it you could provide):
AMD
could provide, not
can provide, not
is providing, but
COULD and not in the near future, nor in the proper amount.
Moreover, they could provide most of it thanks to acquiring ATI and not because of their own skills.
5. A bigger list of things you or me know about
If you don't know about something, then don't bring it in as an argument. It is like bringing in a gun to a duel and you don't know how to unlock, reload and to pull a trigger.
6. Give Apple back the brand of ATI in a mask of AMD, because Apple users are very much loyal to ATI graphics and what it has provided Apple computers the last few years and what it still is.
Apple being used for professional work (mostly workstations and 3D) is much better off with nVidia whose OpenGL capabilities and compliance are way ahead of ATI which still has buggy OpenGL implementation. Whoever works with 3D can confirm this to you. Serious people prefer nVidia, not ATI. Furthermore, ATI latest chips are hot. And finally, Intel was the first one to offer unified shader architecture and future dx10 compliance with their 965G X3000 integrated GPU.
On a side note, ATI was always selling expensive crap for Apple which was clocked lower and was incompatible with the PC even though it used the same interface.
Apple could use Hypertransport even without AMD. It is an open standard.
8. Standard conformance and ultimate stability(wtf??)
Check this as an example of how a serious company does it:
http://support.intel.com/design/motherbd/bx/bx_industryspecs.htm
http://support.intel.com/design/motherbd/bx/bx_regulatory.htm
In other words, someone who builds custom systems and orders hundreds of thousands of components like Apple does, has already come to expect to see such an extensive list of certifications, safety and regulatory compliance and industry specifications.
To summarize, and to underline that which you completely ignored -- Apple needed support for X86 transition.
Neither AMD nor ATI have proper developer support. Neither of them has up to date and concise documentation and neither of them has their own optimizing compiler which is absurd. On the other side but Intel and nVidia have all of that.
Both AMD and ATI are full of hardware engineers (which are very good) but they suck at software and developer support side and they suck hard.
To a gamer that is completely irrelevant but for someone who is writing operating system such as Apple -- it matters a lot.
So, please do us a favor -- crawl back under your rock until you inform yourself better and then come back to a civilized discussion without calling anyone Dumbass, Dumbass.
Half of what Intel has was bought. Also, only 10% of Intel's SKUs are faster than AMD. AND Dell is using them now so the sky is the limit.
