Standard Oil had a monopoly on fuel. If AMD had another fuel type, would it still be a monopoly?
A monopoly is when there is no other choice.
Times have changed, x86 isn't required anymore, so there is no x86 Intel monopoly.
Plain and simple.
.
That's a poor analogy though as the fishing net implies it's the only means to catch the fish properly/efficiently.
AMD is zero limited to making CPU's. They are zero limited in making CPU's that run .NET business applications or another OS/Language. But they are limited selling Intel's...
A QUESTION TO ALL !!!
* DEFINE the MONOPOLY of MODERN BUSINESS COMPUTING
> Are busienss computing application driven by the hardware or the software? Like what is fundamental, the application software features or the hardware.
> Is x86 microprocessing a monopoly on running software...
I said at the time (of the itanium/years back). I also said times have changed.
Intel also has an opportunity to make a new CPU that will run .NET application better than x86 and that could be a cash cow for who ever does it first and wins the standards.
Goto go.
.
Dream on.
I've heard it all before.. . ala the Amiga was so great, it was used to make Bab5 sci-fi, AMD is used by NASA and is used to make Starwars films. what a laugh.
Obviously there is someone out there using a IBM XT for accounting, that doesn't mean it's valid as a mainstream...
Mark whislt the THG stress were on, you were one of the people refusing to see the results. They were clear and you couldn't admit the X2 was a lemon. So you have little credit other than your fellow AMD teenage fan base that are willing to overlook truths.
People are buying Intel as it's...
AMD's complaints are mainly in mobile market. It a joke as no one wants AMD mobile chips, but they can't help to blame Intel for their woes.
AMD are cry-babies.

No AMD is unable to have DDR2, it's not a choice, it's the point their hardware needs redesigning. They're trapped in old tech due to the CPU having the onboard memory controller and the socket design.
DDR2 is already as fast as the best DDR1 and it's as cheap or cheaper. DDR2 has a much...
I didn't see that. I saw the Intel 840EE cream the X2. It was only when the Intel was crippled (having it's HT turned off) that the AMD could get ahead.
Who's the troll.

Anand site isn't a critical situation. They can afford to tinker with different equipment on a hobbyist level. A big corporation can't, they need stability and quality. Also they don't need two types of equipment.
.
Why doesn't DDR2 count? I have an upgrade path with DDR2, I wouldn't with DDR1.
Nearly all Intel new boards in shops are latest tech. 80% of AMD boards still are AGP based.
Besides some gaming frame rates, AMD suck. Find me a bench test that doesn't included gaming results to show AMD...
What planet are you on. No the X2 isn't as good that the Intel 840EE. Also the X2 range is twice the price of Intels range.
Stop dreaming. AMD are marketing into someone else's market. You have you see that Intel has a right to say not to buy the imitation item.
Intel is not scared...
Sorry but that's your opinion that AMD are better CPU's. My recent upgrade, I chose not to buy AMD. If I had the same choice, I would also not buy AMD. Why? If I purchased AMD, I would be investing in a End-of-the-Road technology. Also I find Intel CPU?s are far better performers for...
The AMD are probably the better gaming CPU, but the Intel make better all rounders. Intel is also better for business in alot of ways. It's horses for courses. Dell are selling to professionals and they are happy to have a computer that is offical/defacto chipset, even if gaming fps are a...
