[citation][nom]Zingam[/nom]You do realize that compared to China, USA are just a small underpopulated province without any real history, traditions and culture?[/citation]

Neither country will make it through to the end of the century.
 
[citation][nom]A Bad Day[/nom]A previous article mentioning that Intel might experience delays said that they had too many Sandy Bridge processors still sitting in warehouses, and preferred to get rid of them before releasing a self competing product.If AMD's Bulldozer wasn't doing such a poor job, I'm pretty sure Intel would've rushed Ivy Bridge.[/citation]
YOU GOT IT!!! No competition and reap some more [strike]rewards[/strike] profit!

I truly, truly wish AMD did better and the Bulldozer was real competition, we'd all be MUCH better off. Now Intel can drag it out anyway they please... 🙁
 
[citation][nom]willard[/nom]You do realize that compared to the USA, China is a brutally oppressive country, and its government's rampant corruption has resulted in the deaths of literally tens of millions of its own citizens, not to mention the occasional slaughter of peaceful protestors, shady international trade tactics, lack of any real regulation of working conditions and some of the worst air pollution in the world, right?Not that either of our posts have anything to do with this article or anything said in the comments.[/citation]

70 Million under just Chairman Mao alone.

The Chinese government still refuses to acknowledge that its corruption and mismanagement of resources was the cause of the famine. They officially call it the Three Years of Economic Difficulty rather than the Great Chinese Famine, as the rest of the world does. They also underestimate the total deaths by about 80%.

Great country, China.
 
The real Intel is back ... remembering the days of little to no R&D at Intel, just sitting on mountains of cash with little incentive to do much at all ... I'd like to say they are keeping the door open for AMD ... but well, not likely.

However the more likely pressure is going to be the return of IBM Power8 and Oracle's SPARC T4 ... even rumors that Apple are thinking of returning to IBM CPU. You've been warned Intel ... falling asleep at the wheel against some big hitting companies could leave you seriously crippled.

Intel is most certainly NOT falling asleep at the wheel. They just broke ground on the most advance fabrication plant in the world, and already have 14nm process in the pipes. They just introduced the first practical implementation of tri-gate transistors, and are expanding into new markets (mobile) aggressively. Even with the slight delay in IVB, they'll have released three new chip lines in the last 12 months alone (Sandy Bridge, Sandy Bridge E and Ivy Bridge).

Sounds like the opposite of falling asleep at the wheel to me.
 
I wouldn't consider Sandy Bridge, Sandy Bridge E, and Ivy Bridge to be significant developments, more minor tweaks IMHO. IBM's on the same road to 14nm ... probably ahead of Intel given the "IBM Fab Club" (Globalfoundries, IBM, Samsung). IBM are already working beyond 14nm and 450mm wafer manufacturing. IBM has double-gate, Intel has Tri-gate.

Perhaps not falling asleep, but leaving the door open ... which is what delays do.

As far as China, it's a country that has economic growth only due to cheap menial labor. I hope China is aware that cheap menial labor is being replaced by robotics and computers so their economic growth is going to be short term unless they find some other way to keep their GNP up? The entire purpose of technological growth is to reduce menial labor task (automate them) ... and that process is going to be considerable more cost effective (and faster) then low wage menial labor. Guess who is designing and making all these automated/robotic devices ... give you a hint, it's not China. 😉
 
Same here
Still ruling with a Q6600 G0 , what a timeless CPU !!!!!! bought it in summer 2007 thats almost 6 years now and still crushes any game out there.
there will never be another Q6600 that slips thru time, and doesnt get too old .
 

+1 ^
 
Paul Otellini: Tom, Anand, thank you for joining us on such short notice. We've found a problem in our initial production run, we'll have to scrap it and start over, delaying Ivy Bridge a few months. Please remember the following talking points when reporting it:

1. Intel delays are intentional, or else AMD's fault for not being awesome enough.
2. Use keywords like "slight delay", "insignificant delay", and "so far ahead that Intel has no need to release on time" when reporting Intel delays. When reporting AMD delays, everything must be doom and gloom.
3. Have the PR guys register fake screen names to parrot the first 2 talking points repeatedly in the comments section.

I trust you'll do the right thing gentlemen, the checks are already in the mail.
 
AMD, if you actually made some worthwhile performance processors (the APUs are good for low-end systems, but Bulldozer sucks at performance ones), Intel would be forced to do better than this and we'd all be better off! 🙁
 
[citation][nom]nforce4max[/nom]Intel should lower it's prices on current SB models and then they will see good sales instead of complaining about it. They already got the advantage over AMD and VIA established for the next half decade.[/citation]

I would like to point out that even though the US has a tradition of limited government which has prevented these atrocities that China's government has committed were aren't clean. Though you cannot directly compare them our nation was built on the destruction of the Native American's life styles in the name of property and commerce. It isn't good to see things and black and white. Plus what the person initially said about being China being more cultured than the USA is true. The USA was founded by immigrants who have mostly forgot their traditions and have replace it with secular pursuits.
 
it is possible that intel had better then expected yield (as in the case of atom) so they are trying to figure out what to with the better part.
 
[citation][nom]pacioli[/nom]Uh oh Intel better not get too relaxed because there is some really stiff competition in the CPU market... Oh wait a minute. NVM.[/citation]
Actually I was just thinking maybe intel is ascairt of the FX CPUs from AMD!
 
[citation][nom]willard[/nom]Could you please point me to the tens of millions of people the US has killed? I'd also like to see your sources on the shady international trade (The US is actually at the forefront of international trade regulation), and lack of regulation on healthcare (our healthcare is EXTREMELY regulated, it's just expensive). I also love that you're comparing pepper spraying kids to Tienanmen Square, where Chinese military opened fire on civilians with assault weapons, killing about a thousand people.Also, what's with the pissing match? I was just pointing out to the guy singing praises about China's culture, that the culture is often one of outright brutality, corruption and exploitation. This isn't about who thinks their country is better than whose.[/citation]
You countries has killed tens of millions of native Americans. After all, the Caucasian seized the native American's land and killed most of them. The USA is a country founded by terrorists. How can you even compare the US culture with China? China has been at the pinnacle of human civilization for literally thousands of years.

Google "wikileaks Tiananmen" then you will see the truth.
