AMD couldn't compete with the P-M or its successors. It seems like the whole development with notebooks making up more than 50% of new PCs sold and low power chips much more interesting took AMD completely by surprise. No back-up plan like the P-M there.

With the acquisition of ATI AMD ATI is once again competing. They have a lot of tech now which can make for some very interesting products. My only fear is that AMD simply doesn't have enough imagination to pull it off. And Intel meanwhile is frantically researching its own 3D chips...]]>Jul 27th 2007 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/> Undoubtedly, the C2D is far superior
>> to anything AMD is packing now.

But when it comes down to performance-per-dollar, I feel that AMD is still leading the way. Looking at various CPU benchmark tests, it's almost impossible to build a comparable Intel machine for less money (at least, I couldn't do it trying to build a comparable C2D version of an X2 5600+ build).]]>Jul 27th 2007 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/
Well actually I got the idea that the second processor line even got a lot of folks at Intel by suprise..., it took quite some internal effort in that company to stop favoring the P4 line.]]>Jul 27th 2007 4:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/
I have had 3 AMD and 1 Intel and 1 Centrino. I would always go Centrino, but AMD for any desktop.]]>Jul 27th 2007 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/Jul 26th 2007 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/
Is there even the slightest possibility that this is the new 360 CPU? Think about it, i guess it would make sense (unless Microsoft signed a long contract for PowerPC chips)]]>Jul 26th 2007 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/Jul 27th 2007 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/Jul 27th 2007 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/Jul 29th 2007 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/

Sounds like AMD fanboyism to me.

Intel was moving toward the core duo for a more energy efficient laptop processor, they then realized that they could pump more juice into it and make a processor that performed better than their current desktop chip, and that is how we ended up with core duo and core 2 duo for the desktop.

NOT because Intel was "threatened" by AMD's desktop offerings, and certainly not because they felt threatened by AMD's laptop offerings.

You can't even put an AMD laptop on your lap they get so ridiculously hot.

Unfortunately over the last 2 weeks, built my system 5 weeks ago about £30 has come of the price of alot of Intels, so they have roughly levelled out, but I would still buy an AMD and so do all my system builder friends.

Also I'd like you to get a C2D on a stock Heatsink idling at 35C and working around 45C. Even with you 65nm process.]]>Jul 28th 2007 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/amd-updates-roadmap-barcelona-nearly-here-all-new-chips-in-2/NewEgge Price: 149$,

E6300

When AMD first relased their X2 platform, which are undoubtedly better than Intel Dual core, their cheapest X2 offering was 3800+ for around 300$. And they didn't reduce their price until Core2 came out.

Look at Q6600, you can buy it for less than 300$.

Ofcourse Intel is reducing it to fight before AMD releases it's new Quad, but right now AMD has no processor to fight Intel.

Draw your own conclusions.
