Rebranding works, AMD loses graphics marketshare in Q1 2009

[Chruschef]

Nope. Im just saying that 99.x% of all users dont need the graphics performance that others are trying to push on them. So its the exact opposite. AMD/nVidia want to tell consumers what they should get. Not what they need in terms of GPUs.

i can agree with that..
but, intel in that case should drive their own marketing campaigns for more marketshare.

Consumers dont always make a demand with their own will. Something called marketing made sure of that.

consumers choose whether or not to buy a product, yes?
that would indicate free will on their part.... but, they also choose whether or not to believe everything they read(marketing), and that's a cultural problem -- not a hardware. don't get me wrong though, false or misleading marketing is terrible, but not an easy problem to solve to the consumers misfortune.

i think B.E.E.F. is very referring to intel based processors sold labeled with their "vista ready" when they didn't actually meet those requirements.
