Intel to pay AMD $1.25B!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway... like Jennyh was saying you guys shouldda bought AMD a few weeks ago. I got some their stocks at $4, the next week they jump to $6.30 ( :bounce: ) then yesterday they jump to 7.30 ( :bounce: :bounce: ). And today at 7.05, which is lower so i got mawr!
 
I'm suggesting caution on the stocks now btw, if anyone is interested 😛

The way I see it...

Q4 isn't going quite as well as it should be. Intel just got downgraded by BoA and that doesn't happen on a whim.

What I think is going on is, 6 months ago when intel posted a 'much better than anticipated' result...well you can flog inventory on the cheap when times are bad - but when times are less bad you've got less people looking to upgrade, right?

AMD will also be affected as they did the same thing back then. TSMC are doing their best to destroy ATI's massive gpu lead it seems.

On the plus side, AMD have made big inroads outside of desktops. Dell's Zino will sell, it's so damn cute I want one myself for that reason alone. If not for the intel cash I'd be expecting a pretty flat looking Q4, no better or worse than anyone else.
 


Did you also know AMD Vision is finally out (for laptops at least). I didn't until i saw a friend with one today o.0
 


I've seen a lot. It looks like AMD got it pretty well synchronised with the OEM's and M$ for Windows 7.

The problem with laptops is, it's all about market share for AMD again. That's great for anybody buying one soon but it won't make a huge difference to the balance sheet. I basically consider AMD's laptop market to be at the same stage as the radeon 4800's series were on release 20 months ago.

All the big players are sorta suggesting the same thing though - the recession was bought out cheaply by both intel and AMD - and Q4 might end up being an early collection date.
 


Well the main benefit i see about AMD Vision and AMD being able to sell to vendors now is that it will get the AMD name recognized. No more people asking me if they should get a 2.2 Ghz C2D instead of a P II x 4 b/c its intel...
 


Lol.

TBH though a lot of problems with the area the Israelies are in is the Birtish promised it to both sides. Then they pulled out after the attacks began. Thus people tend to fight over it since bith have a basis in God, well in the Bible old testament, and both think they are the chosen ones to inherit the promised land (The place that goes boom all the time...)

Problem is that they are thrown in with a lot of terrorists. I didn't say anything about Abu Dahabi since its a investment group from the middle east where they are prominently muslim while Israelis are Jewish in faith. Pretty big difference there.

As for the Bible, Elmo its great that you have your own opinion on it but the thing is that its someones faith. You can think your own and I usually agree with you but on this, don't go trying to prove someones faith wrong.

Also, the Bible is two parts. The Old Testament is based the origins of man and how they came to be along with the old rules from God. The second testament is about Jesus, the end and the second coming. It may have been written after the events but it still has a lot of info thats pretty good.

And I for one think we did at one time live with the dinosaurs. I think that what happened was the flood killed them all out. There would be no way for a man to create a boat that could carry a great number of them since they are so large (Brachiousaurus ect).

So lets leave it at this: You prefer science, others prefer faith.
 
You all will have to enlighten me as to what Abu Dhabi has to do with the Gaza Strip? If you look at a map you will see that there is close to 1000 mi. (1200K) between the 2, with Saudi Arabia in the middle.

Whats funny is, when the Bible was written, the conventional thought was that the earth was flat.
Todays scientist insist we come from apes, and are asounded by the Alps man, and confounded by the making of the pyramids.
I think it was wise of jennyh to point out the word wisdom, which isnt the same as knowledge.
Assuming man was nothing but a crude fur wearer with no sewing/weapons such as bows etc was somewhat unwise for todays scientists, as it was back in the day when we all assumed the earth was flat.
I sometimes chuckle at all those "green earth save the animals" people in the city, and how freaked they are by having to use an outhouse, or come upon a large wild animal.
They have no clue how nature works, as all theyve ever known is a twisted "whats allowed to survive" world in the city of man, be it for mans safety. or our manicured lawns, with non native trees etc etc
My point is, it isnt wise to asume that man knows the truth, as we can easily point back to a time where we knew more then than we do now
 
..."do you believe in God?"

"No.." BOOM!<dead>



..."how about you? Do you believe in God?"

"Yes..."

..."do you believe in *my* God?"

"Well.. No.." BOOM!<Dead>



My God has a bigger dick than your God!!



And there you have it: Thousands of years of religious history in 7 sentences.
 

Word, Playa.
 
Yes, please get back on topic...who cares what either you or jennyh's thoughts are on the Jew's, God, and religion, I don't...having a hot button topic like the Intel lawsuits is enough let alone bringing religion into the conversation...
 


+1 ^

That book was written much earlier elmo. Fact is the entire old testament is ripped off and readjusted from the clay tablets of sumer and existed quite a long time before Sargon came to power and created the Akkadian semitic peoples ; whats noteworthy is that through his lifetime to his grandsons, internal rebellion was a constant issue; If you want to know why just look at Israel , in 1948 the jews were allowed back in and shortly thereafter began a terror campaign that destabilized palestinian muslim and christian authority in the region.

The bloodbath that followed was about as ugly as militant massmurder gets. fact is the entire semitic escapade is just a fabrication based on monetary practices still at work but now ruling the world today. I am pretty sure when jesus called them fake jews it was because he realized the sargonian influence.

fact is abrahamic religions are tools of control and fabrications based on texts that were stolen and perverted. Riddle me this 😀 why was semitic cuniform found on a bowl and a monolith in south america? Ancient lore depicts the first white men in soth america as coming by way of sea in vessals adorned with serpents, but wait theres more; true to false jewish tradition ritual sacrifice was introduced as a way to please the gods.

The more you dig into the tribes of Judah the uglier it gets and the more pronounced the theft of history and the destruction of organic historic traditions world wide; ALL of them(( destroyed historical traditions) done by Abrahamic religions, including native americans and now the USA in general is being detached from its own founding principals.

http://www.burlingtonnews.net/dann.html the bad thing about this site is all of the UFO and reptile garbage. They do however go to great research lengths to try to make all of that seem real.

EDIT: BTW the only point I am making here is that ancient texts of wisdom perverted and packaged as the bible are straight bullshit. The 10 commandments were based on the instructions at shuruppag and those were words of wisdom from ZI ud suras father to him called a covenant. The sargonian semites changed his name to noah and sargons epoch to moses's or abrahams who the hel cares?

In israel youre a chosen deity if you are picked up out of a basket and raised by a powerful family that can open the door where no society will.

And then there is the 1489 letter from the prince of the jews to the european jews to convert to christianity in order to overthrow it.

read the talmud, the very base of false judaic law, If any christian catholic or muslim agrees with that vile set of books rthat person should move to israel and help with ethnic cleansing which BTW has a polled support of 53% of the jewish israeli populace.


The Bible is bullshit.
 

in 1995 they went from religious ethnicity to racial in law in the USA, believe it or not :wacko:
 

Wow now that is newsworthy.

So far Intel has to pay 1.5 billion to AMD, stop making Israelis work on saturday due to violent protests by ultra orthodox religiomaniacs, and now the shareholders are piping in for damages due to Intels practices which have cost the company . I am afraid to ask if things could get any worse it could jinx them or something.

i dont like the way Intel strong arms the entire industry they deal in, but at the same time they are a great forward thinking tech company and id rather they didnt ail on massive fronts in such an environment.
 

When you make 35b a year there isnt much in the way of silicon you cant do.
 
Maybe. A lot of companies still thrive that do stupid illegal stuff. Take IBM for example; They provided Hitler with its inmate numeric tracking technology. Their hands are in alot of population based pots, so to speak.

What does DOD funding for folding at home say to you? At some point the idealists need to actually do some research and see that there is a darkside to all tech, the only guys that get spanked are the ones that get caught in public.
