Back in the day. AMD was expencive, but they did hold the performance crown by a lot anyways. Now they practicly give out these cpus.

well that is the thing, the best has always costed the most. Intel is not going to sell Conroe x6800 for $100 to undermine AMD, regardless of the fact it costs them less than $5 to make. They have a hell of alot of R&D costs to earn back.Quote:

I guess this thread just brings out the worst in people. Do you really need the eye rolling? Maybe had you said original X2 pricing, I wouldn't have made my reply.Quote:
you do realize that the Price when X2 came out, it was alot higher than it is now :rolleyes:
While we are doing the "you do realize", do "you realize" in my post that I was very aware they were higher priced which is exactly what my post said(if you even bothered to read it). I tried to clarify your general statement since you left "X2 pricing" as an arbitrary period of time, instead you need to attack what I said. Not just a "yeah, I meant to say when it came out not today"
No idea why even post in this thread.
More fuel for the fire...Intel says AMD numbers aren't right...

Please, it took a while to get this thread back on track, why on earth did you have to bring Intel back into this? This is the AMD forum, people shouldnt need to be told wht Intel think in this forum.Quote:

Sorry, I can see your point. Perhaps I didn't think it through as how it could be taken or add my comments to clarify my thoughts on the article. My point wasn't anything about talking Intel in AMD section, I just found it amusing that Intel was trying to refute results, I personally took it as it seemed like they were a little on the defensive for some reason. :D Who is going to believe the chief competitor anyway. When I posted I thought people would think like I did that Intel was doing a little early damage control.
Here's something i've been considering lately. All the roadmaps leaked or otherwise point to only Budapest having HT3. I wonder if this could be explained by torenza with a seperate socket for an add-in chip, and is something HT3 enables.
Just wondering is AMD usually this tight with info preceding a launch or are they being extra cautious with the Barcelona stuff?
Not sure if this has been asked yet............When Do The K10 Sneak/Preview NDAs Expire :confused:
Either something is fishy ( frequency and availability for sure ) and/or they want to surprise Intel.Quote:

I think Intel is in turbo mode right now , even if Barcelona gets on top it will be for a very very short period.Quote:

Ya . Old blue I am waiting on Hectors little talk.
So far today only news is AMD will miss 1 qt. forecast . By a lot.
Been reading in the news section . About the issue of 1.5 billion shares of AMD up from 750 million shares. Some are talking like this is a 2for 1 splite.
It means no such thing. It only means the number of shares aMD can issue has been increased. A stock split now would be horriable for AMD. A reverse splite however may be agood idea tho.
Also read some of you think AMD will look attractive @ $10 a share .
That to would be foolish . As I said before I have a target price of $7 a share . But I am thinking of holding on until AMD reaches $3 a share which is very real probability of happening by Aug of 07.
The insiders of AMD stocks . HECTOR and friends are selling shares @ $14-15 like there is no tomorrow.
Well for al those waiting for the server K10 parts. Don't hold your breath. Must be bad times at AMD. Amd has been putting out all kinds of bench mark hype . Yet it seems they don't have a cpu yet. Sept. for the release. I will say as I said before we will see Penryn befor we ever see a K10. I doubt K10 will be hear even in sept.
Heres a quote from todays conferance call .
Of course, AMD's quad-core processor came up briefly during an interview-style conversation on the Morgan Stanley stage and Ruiz provided some information bits, most of what was known before, such as the expectation that the chip would outperform its predecessors by about 30 to 40% and that AMD considers the introduction of the chip as a significant launch, probably more significant than the launch of the original Opteron CPU. When it came to likely availability, Ruiz said AMD is on track to sample the "Barcelona" server quad-core CPU and will be shipping in "late summer" - which is a more detailed timeframe than the "mid-2007" or "H2 2007" we had heard in the past.
Roadmaps seen by TG Daily so far indicated that AMD was aiming for an early Q3 (July) launch of Barcelona; Ruiz' now indicated that we are looking more at an August or even September introduction of the quad-core server processor. AMD representatives, however, reiterated in a conversation with TG Daily that the company has "not provided any guidance beyond that [AMD will] launch and ship at mid-year."
So the Spinners are hard at work . Saying K10 in 2nd qt. 07. april may not even clse to reality.
It was said on this forum that AEG is dead and gone but I don't believe it for a second. Aeg has been real busy putting out false numbers on K10 and its release date. From the above quote .
that the chip would outperform its predecessors by about 30 to 40% and that AMD considers the introduction of the chip as a significant launch
This means that the K10 will outperform K8 by 30 to 40% NOT C2D. . When its all said and done Penryn will likely be here before K10 and be a stronger performer.

Informal I have not spammed a thread yet on purpose. Fact is its the AMD chaps doing the spamming. April may release of K10 server parts.Not even close. When I few of us qustioned it . We were gunned down by the true spammers. I said in that thread that when it doesn't happen all will say it was the inquirer that caused this rumor. Not true Its AMD doing damage control and out and out lying to the public. All the while hidden behind the only true guidence of k10 was the 2H release.Quote:

You say I am spamming . I say I am only trying to keep some reality in these speculation threads. It would seem some members are out and out lying about K10 ES chips. IF AMD had K10 ready in dec. We wouldn't be waiting until sept or later for the release. Intel demoed C2D in March of last year. Yet they released ahead of time. Intel has moved 45 ahead and there is even bigger news but I will set on this one as its $$$$ in my pocket.
Spammer me not really . But if you would like I can go threw this thread and post the spam threads for you If you would like.

I have read it I seen nothing that says they are referring to C2D . Here is what was said today.
that the chip would outperform its predecessors by about 30 to 40% and that AMD considers the introduction of the chip as a significant launch
Clearly AMD is talking about K8 here as this is the predecessor of K10 not INTELS C2D.
I have been following the news section . I have to say I like serge 84's new name . He really cracks me up . Funny funny man.
Yeah and Penryn will be 40% faster than Conroe and reach 4Ghz stock with Mitosis and so on and so on...(excerpt from your wild speculation posts in intel section about the die shrink of conroe)
Now seriously:EE Times article quotes H.Richard pretty clearly.Go read it.
And btw,you just spammed the topic by posting 2 posts in a row which could easily be one edited(not even going into non existence of contents of 2nd post..)
