ok so i am an INTELLIOT?

first time i ever got called that

are u an emotional poster too...

*sigh*

:roll:


DISCLAIMER:
OH and i would like to make it clear that just because his name begins with a "lord," we by no means share ideas/likenesses/ANYTHING for that matter.
 
yay, you joined the discussion, it's about time you came back, I've missed you, how long has it been now, probably over a month

yeah, its been forever... like a few months or so. i've started checking the forums more now because i'm hopefully getting ready for a build [if the finances are right].

...and then i see someone with a slightly-similar name as mine makin' a scene and i just wanted to distance myself from that. heh. 😀

but yeah. i don't think that AMD will have as much trouble as some OTHER people seem to think they will. they basically HAVE to exist, not because prices would "rise;" prices wouldn't rise per se, you just wouldn't get the same quick advancements that competiton brings, so you'd be paying a price for tech that may not be as advanced as in a competitive market like that of today. the actual prices wouldn't increase, i don't think; rather the value of the items could/would decrease.

...plus i likes tha AMD. AMD and i go wayyyy back. sometimes AMD comes over for tea and crumpets, and we play parcheesi. its great fun. you haters should all get to know AMD before you whip out the haterade like that.
 
looks like even the newcomers are finding that lordpope's reputation has gone down the drain (just wondering, do happen to flame a lot of people, or just like your name?)

Don't say I didn't warn you about this pope, I did all within my power to prevent it

He is a good example of why I NEVER look for allies on an anonymous forum.
 
Since AMD will be folded up like childs blanket by this time next year....will VIA be able to step in and compete with INTEL?

Pope, this crusade of yours to attempt to force AMD to reveal performance numbers is ludicrous at best. Are you expecting somebody at AMD to come along and say, hey, there's a guy at forumz slandering our name, we better give them numbers quick or we'll surely BK!! I guess it doesn't hurt to try, but ultimately, it will get you absolutely nowhere.
 
amd isnt oging to fold because they arent anywhere near going under, lordpope they may be emotional posters, but at least they arent retarded ones, cant say the same for you
 
I think the problem is people don't give amd the credit they deserve, think about it, amd is probably smaller than 10% of intel, and yet they managed to beat them in performance for a few years straight, intel has close to trillions of dollars in profit, amd gets barely over the billion mark. Intel has so much more money to research with and is migrating to 45nm fabs to save costs and improve profit margins, amd just got to 65nm. And then when amd loses in performance, people give them a hard time, I hihgly doubt they have ever been in the position that the underdog amd is in right now with no where near the resources that intel has, and yet, they are still alive, and that's what counts. Give them some time, and they'll come back, but only if you let them, if people keep talking trash about them and saying they have no chance against conroe, then they won't, end of ze world, Iran just nuked us all, we lose. So people need to keep hope and try to be in the position amd is in, that's they only way they will ever stop trash talking about them

yes yes, very true; you are totally right. however, the fact that you say AMD is an underdog company just goes to show what their reputation is... and reputation is everything in a capitalistic country... or any business for that matter, i suppose. i don't think that AMD needs sympathy or people need to quit trash talking them; i think that AMD will be okay and i just wanted to say that.

oh and to separate myself from this lordpope character :wink:

yeah, thats right too... its not like AMD is going to divulge info to shut us up, but i'm not sure that that was pope's intention in the first place. it won't get anywhere, but it will get you about 1,000 views, and 2 pages of a flames. meh. c'est la vie.
 
Nice rig you have there. What vcore do you need for 2.8 ghz? That is unquestionably awesome value. I assume that was the newegg combo deal for around $150?

Dear Mr. Lordpope,

Do you have plenty of fire insurance?

People that engage in flaming activity shoud care plenty of fire insurance, 'cause they never know when their computer will burst into sudden flames.


Do you know the telephone number to your local fire department?

If I was you, I would have the telephone number on speed dial, 'cause I think you are going to need it.

Before AMD dies (and in this point you are right, theres like almost nothing to save AMD now) someone else will buy ATi, or ATi will separate from AMD, or whatever... ATi will take over processor manufacturing and there we have our player, but WITH capable management. 😱
 
You seriously think AMD will be gone by next year.LOL.Dude,the only thing gone or going is your sanity.AMD might be having some financial difficulties,but that hardly means they are out of the game.We are talking about a multi-billion dollar company.Give them a break will ya.It takes time to recoup money spent on aquisitions.The purchase of ATI will pay off,sooner than some think.
