One step behind Intel is exactly the very reason why AMD is better. Remember AMD's old tagline: Smarter Choice? Well, AMD is smarter than Intel for letting Intel take the lead as well as all the risks and hardship of being the leader.]]>Jan 28th 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/Jan 28th 2009 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/
Sure, for a netbook market the Geode doesn't win, but maybe that's not what AMD is after [anymore]. They make damn good CHEAP embedded boards for some appliances- cases for $10 (with power adapter), included memory onboard, CPU - with only the need for a storage medium. I'm actually considering getting one to setup some routers for friends..]]>Jan 28th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/AMD "Was" in front for quite much time but not anymore..
@ A.C.E.R.: I am not planing such a thing but AMD is behind Intell in Market sells. for quite long now.
@Lke_A_Glove: When was the Last time AMD beated Intel CPU's in Benchmarks ?
Is i7 and Atom a step behind AMD ?
My question is this.. Is AMD is beind Intell because Intell can make better products or maybe is something else that caused this ??
I know that AMD's technology was brilliant but what I don't understand is why all sudden Intel got better.]]>Jan 28th 2009 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/Jan 28th 2009 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/Jan 28th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/
They are still very competitive in the low end market of desktops/laptops.

Just a wild guess, but from the sounds of it Athlon Neo could take its place :)]]>Jan 28th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/ So sad...and I only just recently finally found myself a Geode based Netbook...

thought not.

Through work, I even met a senior marketing guy who talked about their new CPUs, and how they were introducing performance enhancements to stave off Intel's i7/Nehalem. I told him starkly that AMD needed to produce more sexy products!]]>Jan 28th 2009 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/amd-has-no-plans-for-geode-successor-retirement-party/
You are ignorant because you base your conclusions from the biased comments of others.
You really don't know how to get the entire story.
You have know idea how to find the entire facts and the game plan of AMD.

Saying that AMD canceling the Geode means the end of AMD is about as dumb as saying GE is closing their doors because they are no longer going to supply IC chips that are used in making x-ray machines.

Look just because AMD decided to kill off the Geode does not mean that they are failing, falling farther behind, or will close their doors any time soon. The Geode was not ever to be considered a huge source of profit for AMD, much like flash memory and network chips, and is definitely not considered a mainstream CPU like the Atom or the C7/Nano. The Geode has always fallen in the same category as MIPS and ARM. To AMD the Geode was more of an embedded developer's experimental CPU. The advantage with the Geode is that it has x86 code for computerized appliances such as Wyse Winterms, robotic engineering circuits, embedded developers...etc. The Geode was never designed to be a competitor of Atom or VIA's C3 or C7.

Next time instead of listening to biased pro-intel fanboys take some time out of your gaming/blogging/chatting/emailing schedule, research and learn a little about the company before you go and blurt out ridiculous comments or deducing very foolish, almost retarded conclusions.]]>Jan 28th 2009 6:31PM
