HD 7660D GPU for $130 is impressive...
What I dislike, though, is that their on-die GPUs fair far better on the desktop than they do on laptops. That TDP hamstring really kicks 'em in the butt
Is it just me, or does the 5700 seem to be the best all around processor given its 65w TDP? The 5800 doesn't seem to provide much more kick given how much thirstier it is...
There goes Intel from the budget/low-mid range gaming market.
The wise never count Intel out from any market they wish to be in.
Intel doesn't like the budget market anyway, there's not enough profit in it for them.
And why would you think intel doesn't want to compete in the high volume markets. Its where marketshare is won or lost.
I hope you aren't suggesting that all of intels past failures were because, they simply didn't want to compete there. They wanted to fail. Doesn't seem to make much sense.

They'll still be around, but they won't put too much pressure on AMD. If AMD goes belly up, Intel would end up being a de facto monopoly. They'd much rather have AMD stick around, especially if AMD isn't competitive in any of the high-margin market segments.
That said, impressive prices for that level of performance. Definitely the go to CPU for a budget gaming rig.

I didn't say I volume did I? I said budget (you may know it as cheap). Look at AMD's margins. Now look at Intel's margins. Intel's shareholders expect those high margins. Intel isn't going to enter a market where they can't maintain their margins. As IDC said, it's why they got out of the HDTV business.
Number of chips produced is not only way to measure market share. It's probably more important to measure market share in dollars or profit. Not that Intel is low volume. They currently produce about a million chips a day, seven days a week.
Again, I never said what you are saying I did, as I never said anything about either companies market failures.
Do you really want to go there in this thread? Because this isn't the place for it.
Lol whatever dud
You may not be aware, but budget has a tendancy to be high volume.
which 7xxx series card will it crossfire with/?
