AMD dead

AMD will be dead in 2-3 years.

They have made losses in the last 8 quarters

the opteron was good

but the Athlon-FX is too expensive and the Athlon 64 is too slow

Intel has been quite steady even though their CPUs are a touch expensive.

soon an 2.5GHz CPU will have to be called Athlon 64 4200+

the opteron is cheep compared to the insanely expensive Xeon prices.

Please provide a link to support your stated facts, as it can be much mis-leading discussing a companies fate based on a presumption you have made.

well, he was right when he said AMD was losing for the last 8 quarters..(dunno if its exacltly 8, but that AMD is losing money) and the fact that they are always in the shadow of Intel is never good...

i ain't so sure when he says AMD64+ is slow....apparently they are faster than normal pentium exponentially...

Exactly the new 64 Bit is top-notch at it's current level, and surpasses most current CPU's but! we mucst wait for Intels PV to really determine AMD's fate, and we need to see what AMD themselves have up their sleeves

dunno, seems AMD64+ is their best...i could be wrong..

but like Apple G5 (or something) is more powerful isn't it?

AthlonFX is their best, Athlon64 is their cut down version of the FX

ah, thats right, i remember something like that...

G5 would probably be more powerfull at graphics designing and stuff but im probably wrong.

With the athlon FXs/64s, remember we still havent really seen their 64bit capabilities other than 32 bit based benchmarks. Intel will be releasing their prescot line of processors in december which they also might have 32/64bit capability. This will i recon be allot better than FX, since P4EE is very competetive with it.

Yupp, thanks jm1234567890 for the links i added it onto ur first post, and updated the thread title as the first one was a little mis-leading...

currently, i have no idea what manufacture to go with, i think i'll wait lol

... · Oct 3, 2003

i dun think it really matters to us does it???

i mean, unless u take things to the extreme, u should just buy the more reliable or cheaper one...

meh, i love my AMD1300+
*hugs computer*

AMD is relaible, even if they go bust that won't be too bad since by that time you would have to upgrade anyway

btw, i have heard rumors that AMD CPUs are known to fail, but that isn't too bad since there is always warranty

if a company is constantly making loses there will be problems.. even if they have a good product if they cant make ends meet they will die..

ahh, economics!!!!!!!
but i mean, AMD have been around for like a "bit"...so i mean, they can't be making loses that bad...

That was an OLD OLD story, well we shall name it a myth now lol...

Back then when the Athlon T-Birds were prevalent, yes they did have problems, because people who overclocked it and sometimes used it normally had it over heating, but that was the T-birds batch, then come the "XP" (Thoroughbred) which is built off the Athlon Pallimino, they had the same technology as intel did, which when the CPU reaches extreme temps, it shutsdown itself, now up from the XP batch to the Barton batch and any other newer ones, the myth about them dieing is eliminated, just because T-Birds gave them a little nasty reputation at dieing, doesn't mean the company can't have another chance.

they could change to a kitchen product company!

but it will be bad if intel get a monopoly of CPU market

the competitors such is VIA's C3 and Transmeta's Crusoe are just too crappy.

eg. in the graphics card market there will soon be many competitors
Xgi, nVidia, Ati, Matrox, Xabre

this will drive prices down and new technology will be developed

graphics cards have been increasingin performance much faster than CPUs.

just compare TNT2pro with GFFX5900.....

TNT2 pro

Memory Speed: 166 MHz
Pixels Per Second: 284 Million
Memory Bandwidth: 2.65GB/s

GFFX 5900

Graphics Core: 256-bit
Memory Interface:256-bit
Memory Bandwidth:27.2GB/sec
Fill Rate:3.6 billion texels/sec.
Vertices/sec.338 million
Memory Data Rate:850MHz
Pixels per Clock (peak):8
Textures per Pixel:16*
RAMDACs400MHz

last year i was still using TNT2 pro.....
the fill rate has gone up 12 times!!!

*sigh*

I want a Quadro FX3000. Neone got 3000 bucks they could give me? :'(

I think AMD is a best processor. You know its exclusively for graphics purpose.
