because your gas runs out in a week, but our SB will last years.
intel aint getting my money with IvB or whatever unless its price competitive vs. SB. I'm sure the vast majority value their hard-earned $$ and think the same.
Intel can't just jack up the prices on IvB due to lack of AMD competition.
The reason is simple: A lot of people already are on SB or Nehalem. To get them to want to upgrade, intel has to offer amazing bang for buck in comparison. If IvB is ~20% faster than SB, they can't just charge 100% extra for it, few would buy, low sales = failure regardless.

u guys ultimately it means were going to be at the mercy of intel and microsoft pretty soon.
They can pull us whichever way they want, and were forced to go there.
And when they both pull each other, thats when were going to get screwed.
We need AMD somewhere in the middle to cut that rope and say hey were gonna sue your butts!

Then can just up the price on SB, which they've actually done.
Prices are up about 10% already (on high end intel chips) after the weak Bulldozer processors. Obviously I don't expect chips to double overnight but unfortunately for us we will be paying more with AMD out of the high-end game.
Doesn't anyone find it at all interesting how practically any post about AMD in various forums, almost without exception, automatically turns into a discussion about AMD's death as a company, or how any story no matter how positive is turned negative, or how their CPU's suck, etc. It's bizzare.
Who has the most to gain by flooding the net with negative sentiment? Investors, AMD shorts in particular. I've shown before on this forum an exact cross post from the cesspool over at Yahoo investor boards. I wonder how enthusiasts, if there are any real ones left, feel about that?
Here's a good example of how a story was manipulated and twisted, within minutes of hitting the net, into the death knoll of AMD.
AMD to attempt self-resurrection but not with ARM

And then there's this.
Heres a tablet strategy for you: Android 4.0.1 optimized for AMD Brazos APU
Retailers are going to charge whatever it is they want after they weigh supply and demand.
Thats what happens when you lack strong leadership and a proven track-record. There has been no clear vision conveyed from AMD so speculation abounds.
AMD expects 70% of their processors shipped in 2012 to be APU's.

sorry but lately amd's expectations have all been fail.
someone in the corp keeps rounding the decimal point up by a factor of 100x to appeal to the public.
And when truth comes out, well, i dont think i need to say much more about when truth comes out...
Uhh, well this is already true. Most of the CPUs AMD ships are in fact integrated graphics, whether in CPU or chipset. But that's true of all the markets.
Retailers are going to charge whatever it is they want after they weigh supply and demand.
Add in Intel selling chips for whatever it is they want according to their own supply and demand analysis, it can become a precarious situation for the consumer in a very short period of time.
It's not just Intel, it's the retailers, too. Prices can go up just as they go down.
"Intel prices won't go up," *cough* naive. Intel is driven by one thing only, profit, just as any other company.
They can skin a cat in two ways. One, by sheer volume, or two, slapping on a larger price tag. If you're a monopoly ... you can do both.It's good fun seeing Intel fans trying to glorify turbulent times for AMD. It's simply not in a pro-Intel fan's best interests. Slice it all you want, it doesn't change what it is.
Hey all, first time AT user; although I have been reading AT for a long time.
Was just wondering if Intel does become a full blown monopoly in the desktop area wouldn't the department of justice have to intervene?
