dothan your a TROLL. and i never call anyone that. go back to your cave.

also please explain to me why intell will be first to 8 cores (skipped 4 i see) when they were late to 2 cores.

Business is about making money. Intel has proven with this rapid leapfrog over AMD that they are the kings and will never allow AMD to overtake them again.

Oh please. AMD has had the edge over Intel for how many generations now (CPU)? It's not surprising that Intel has trumped AMD, but eventually AMD will take the lead again... i'm guess there's a good chance once they move to 65nm

I'm of the opposite thought process than you. AMD has built their business on intel's coattails; they basically sell a copycat product and sponge into markets that Intel created; and then they sue Intel for being anti-competitive. What a joke.

Of course they were on 'intel's coattails'... so what? That's what happens when you come from behind. As for copying intel LOL you obviously have no idea wtf you're talking about. Who's 64bit was a copycat off the other? Who released the first x86 dual core chip? And who finally realized that pure mhz wasn't the answer, and had to go back to their laptop processors to compete?

Let's face it. The courts allow AMD to do what they do because there is no one else to compete with Intel. Intel is a tremendously important company that is the reason that most of you have the jobs you have, most likely. Bashing them because they make a lot money is like the poor people who sit at home at 3:45pm in their backyards complaining about how much the CEOs make, while the CEOs work until midnight. Intel has done a tremendous job in a very short time, and all of us will benefit from it. Give them some credit already.

How about you give some credit to AMD. Without AMD, do you really think we would be where we are today? Ha! We'll be buying CPUs for twice their price and half the performance... and if we were using 64bit, we would be using an inferior version. Oh, lets not forget we'll need to put up with RDRAM.

I give AMD plenty of credit for forcing Intel's hand. But this is clearly an Intel-bashing forum, so I didn't think there was a need to tout AMD.

You don't seem to understand the concept of coattails; its not about being behind, its about Intel creating the market and AMD simply sucking some of it up. Its not illegal, or even unethical, but the credit for creating the PC market that we have today belongs to MS and Intel, like it or not. The animosity towards Intel by people that have substantially benefited from their work is really amazing.

This is pretty funny considering the fact that Intel was the first to release a dual core chip.
