I always liked AMD because the price/performance ratio was great. The chips were always 30 - 50% less than a comparable Intel offering. Then the on board memory controller would kick Intel's butt. Then of course there were the nVidia chipsets and the SLI that was only later ported to Intel.
They were stupid to buy ATi. They should have bought nVidia or at least merged or signed some mutual exclusive agreement. Kick Intel completely out of the SLI game. Then pump out real kick-butt processors. To be brutally honest, in my opinion, phenom failed. The designs are obviously better but they just don't have the leadership or the capital to bring real products to fruition.
