NO! 😱 How? Why? I don't believe it.

A long long time ago, but I can still remember, how that music used to make me smile... <A HREF="http://www.nexus.hu/zonix/DIGGER.MID" target="_new"><b><font color=blue>Digger rulz</font color=blue></b></A>
 
I expected it also, no suprise.
The good thing is HP is offering Opteron based servers, Dell will only lose customers.


Toms Hardware Site is a joke !
 
I'm fine with that. I have no plan to use Dell. :)

Figured i'd do it too..reality my ass.

I don't either, Intel has always been the market leader and standard in the microprocessor market, it would be a terrible investment to use AMD chips. Compaq and Gateway use AMD and they never recovered from the damage and losses. There is only one word in the chip business and it's "intel" inside. AMD is for hobbyists and enthusiasts not real serious PC users. AMD=gaming, INTEL= working

DELL=money

Heh - what a cretin...

(there used to be a business case for Intel chips in single user PCs/terminals etc., but only because AMD didn't use integrated heat spreaders on pre-A64/Opteron chips[ask Crashman about that])

If a tree falls on coop, but noone is there to hear it - do less people rejoice?
 
*yawn*

Well, this thread went to [-peep-] pretty quick.

Now pardon me while I tattoo the word "*PLONK*" on your forehead. :tongue:

Who is adopting AMD64 ?

Why do you think that is ? Because those people know chit about CPU`s and performence.
It takes a while to convince the Joe Smoe`s that an other brand is cheaper faster and you dont need to install an extra airco-system !

Kanavit, you cant keep on fooling the people...

And wich persons know what is best ? i think hobbyists and enthusiasts know much more of it then the working people who use it to type in word/excell and all that !
Besides, have you seen Opteron against Xeon ?

Kanavit, you have to write for Toms Hardware Forum.
Work together with omid, he is your soulmate !
Think there would be some romantic tension between the 2 of you...

Toms Hardware Site is a joke !
 
Coop, you're no better than Kanavit, just on the opposite side.

Pot, meet Kettle.

Just because your misinformation supports AMD, doesn't make it any more right than Kanavit's misinformation.

You know something Zoron. You’re no better than coop. Sure you jump all over the amd fanboys like sod and coop but look at the Omid editorial thread. Twice you have knocked a couple of newbies for simply criticizing the most blatant Intel fanboy thing I have ever seen written anywhere.

Don’t be such a hypocrite


If I glanced at a spilt box of tooth picks on the floor, could I tell you how many are in the pile. Not a chance, But then again I don't have to buy my underware at Kmart.

It is not a matter of time. It is a matter of marketing, which is something that AMD does not do very well.

Just as winning major OEMs is not about product superiority but about consumer demand and production capacity, which again are two things that AMD lacks compared to Intel. The fact that AMD makes a more technically compelling CPU right now is meaningless.

Dell has a locked contract, but rather sweet deal, with intel. Dell sells machines to people that are componently challanged and dont know much about computer parts. Since people know intel and probably never heard of AMD, Dell will stick with Intel chips till AMD starts their own commercial compaign.

Barton 2500+ @ 2200mhz (10x220 vcore @ 1.8)
Asus A7N8X Dlx 440 FSB

Let's be honest here, for a moment.

Bitching to high heaven about an editorial written by someone who is clearly biased on these forums doesn't accomplish anything. I see nothing insightful or informative coming as a result; just a lot of screaming AMD fans.

Sorry, but you lose. I am neither an Intel nor and AMD fanboy. To suggest otherwise would make you look like an idiot. The last two computers I owned were AMD (still both running, I might add) and my next computer could very likely be AMD. Just because I am currently running a P4 doesn't make me a fanboy. Look at Popey's posts for Christ's sake... he owns a P4 machine and look at the way he bitches Intel out.

Please buy a few clues before writing such responses.

Its sad taht the fact that amd chips are better performers in alot of areas is meaningless. Its sad but true that ti comes down to marketing. AMD couldnt provide the supply intel does becuase its doesnt control 85% of the market. If they gained share, Im sure they could adapt to produce in larger quantities. I do wish amd would look into a bit more advertising, but it doesnt really hurt me. If i want an amd chip, 'Intel Inside' isnt going to sway my decision, it just comes down to the numbers. Its too bad more of the public wasnt aware of this. Maybe if AMD gets more on a stable, profit earning track, then they can work some more on advertising.
 
Re: Let's be honest here, for a moment.

How’s this for honesty. Attacking a couple of amd fanboys is fine (it's pointless really and accomplishes nothing) but it's fine to speak the truth.

However attacking a couple of posters criticizing a blatant intel fanboy column is wrong. It might be pointless to criticize the column but it's even more hypocritical (and pointless) to attack the person responding to the column. Or can you not see that.

And it's pointless to tell me it's pointless, because we both know it's pointless, so it's pointless.

I never read Omid's column; I just assumed it was typical IT crystal ball nonsense like all of the rest...

I didn't read it either, but after all of this, I suppose I just HAVE to read it. Just goes to show that there is really no such thing as bad publicity.

STFU everyone.


i mean cmon who would buy an DELL here anyway......

love this quote from 10tonrage at an other forum :

I've always thought Dell uses AMD as a tool to get the best pricing from Intel.

I can hear them now.

Dell: "We've been looking at this new AMD chip, and it's got 64-bits.
Do you have 64-bits?"

Intel Rep: "Not yet, but [wink wink] it's on the way.
Need a refill on your drink?"

Dell: "Thanks. We were really thinking about coming out with a new line of servers with this new Opteron chip.
It's fantastic."

Intel Rep: "What can we do for you to keep you with us?"

Dell: "Well, I don't know. How about a better price than you're giving us now.
Oh, and, put on this hat and dance around like a circus monkey."

Intel Rep: "Sure."


Toms Hardware Site is a joke !
 
Holy [-peep-]!

I agree with one of coop's posts!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

(Well except the THG site being a joke part)

What funny about this is Dell going to be buying out Emachines. Which are both Intel and Dell computers. So would this mean Emachines just run Intel after Dell buys them.

Some people who are supporting Omid thinks so. They read THG columns for having a good laugh.
