Don't get me wrong, I am not pro Intel and bashing AMD. A gamer friend of mine insists that generally AMD pcu's are faster, better, and most of what I have read here on PF1 supports this view. Is it just user perceptions, opinions, or is there factual data to support how AMD performs?

AMD's well may be running dry

A battle-weary AMD is the subject of a rumor that it may be in the position for a takeover or a cash infusion from private equity, brought on by a punishing stock market, losing 60% in the last year

Who knows what will happen later on..........

If Intel hadn't had competition from AMD then they probably would have sat on their behinds and not improved their next lot.

We may once again find, like Mark Twain, that rumours of the death were somewhat exaggerated.

533040 2007-03-15 03:46:00 AMD is being hurt buy a price war with Intel so it will be interesting to see how that pans out. It will also be interesting to see if they find a buyer. winmacguy (3367)
