AMD CAUSED something of a ruckus last night by winning the Computer Trade Show award for Best CPU Manufacturer at a shindig sponsored by Intel.
Awards, presented by Intel, were given out throughout the night. However, the Intel lady left the AMD award until last, and walked off the stage rather than present it personally to a jubilant set of chaps.
We got some blurry 3am bar-room photos of the award itself, which AMD were said to be delighted with. There's a nice big 'Sponsored by Intel' logo in the corner. How wonderfully ironic.

What did Intel expect??? Prescott is a heater and petered out less then 400mhz from the northwood 130nm chip, they cancelled the Tejas plans, thet came late to the dance with a 64bit chip, and they showed off a dual core chip that is merely a slamming of two precott chips together and then starving it of bandwidth by sharing the bus....Oh yeah I see where they desrved it!!! (sarcasm)
I would give them an ward for their mobile chips of the dothan core but that is about it....

Serious potential to hurt intel? You've gotta be kidding.
In any case, everything that duvie guy said is inconsequential, and this "award" is also a non-story.
And I don't need a job, I make over 75k a year NOT working for Intel.Good for you. LOL!!!!!! Come by Oregon and apply for a job, if you've got skill.
And the Opteron is ?? Beat The Xeon in many tasks, and is is workstation. If you are talking about the P4 vs the Athlon64, aside from 2 high cpu intensive tasks where HT helps, it beats the P4 in everything. You really need to stop spewing crap, but read FACTS. You don't see Wingznut spewing crap like this, and he's an Intel employee who has been here for years, and most of us respect what he has to say.What really matters is the fact that amd still cannot gain big chunks of the desktop marketspace, where it has a superior product for a significant set of workloads.
Duvie speaks the truth, and he live right here too !
