Intel/AMD

[[GSV]Trig]

Why is it that AMD seem to be doing things, Intel slate them, and then Intel start doing the same thing.....

Intel moved from sockets to slots, according to Intel the slot was the way forward and sockets were dying...

AMD use numbers that dont relate to the physical speed of the chip, they get slated for confusing the customer. Intel then start using a naming convention thats even weirder.

Why is it ok for Intel to do things that they have previously slated AMD for doing, Intels meant to be the leader is it not, yet it seems to follow more than lead...

The thing is that Intel have what some people call "Image" people find the Intel Logo easy to recognise because of the Jingle.

If they get offered AMD (trust me on this) people that buy a pre built system will say "Who are they? ... Nope never heard of them, I'll take the more expensive and confusing Intel".

And remember, AMD were taking this p1ss out of intel with their numbering scheme, "Hey ours runs at 2.0GHZ but has the same performance as your 3.0GHZ chip, Hahahahaha"

coz Intel's a beeyatch.. industry monopolizing smelly nimphomaniac... both B.Gates and Intel are alike... never liked both of them..

TBH, The pentium 2 slot was kinda stupid.. It also looked downright rediculous... I used my brother's old PII 233 for me dogs throw-and-catch lessons..

Obscure naming, I think its more like getting suckered... 570J is obviously faster than 660...

Motion seconded... Just take where AMD and Intel chips are made... the wonderful island of PENANG in Malaysia.. Most if not all of the people there used Intel chips, why? 'Intel is the best! wat u toking.. u AMD no use laa... The badge also "geli"(ugly)... Intel can smoke your wat wat 55 anytime man... why u so cocky one? U scared you lose to intel is it?' (don't understand a single word I'm saying? Thats the reason i live in the UK now..)

Its all marketing and spin.

Nothing more, nothing less - IMO.

Because Intel wants to be as succesful as AMD???
