AMD Desktops Outsell Intel
prostoalex writes "For the week ending August 21st AMD managed to capture 54% market share among new desktops sold. Intel's share during the week was 45%. While Intel leads the U.S. CPU market with 82.7% market share, folks from AMD are proud to announce this is the second week this year - they also outsold Intel on the desktop market one time in April 2004."
Nobody could ever need more than 7.314 MHz of speed.
Intel is planning to release a 10.000 MHZ cpu and kick AMD poor lame ass.
Watch it, in several European countries (and a bunch of non-European ones) that truly does mean 10,000 MHz :)
It's not as if RedHat is the only OS you can install. Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo, and SuSe are also quite popular. Then there are NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. What is this monopoly you are talking about?

What exactly does EPIC provide, apart from a lot of work for compiler writers and a (theoretical) maximum 4-fold speed increase with current designs?

That's exactly what I meant. [sarcasm]Thank you for clarifying.[/sarcasm]
Yeah, AMD makes something like that. I think it's called the Athlon 64.
There's a fucking header with your fucking user name and a link to your fucking personal page where your fucking name can be listed if you want to.
Yeah, totally... except on yours. It would have been helpful if you provided your fucking name at the end of your fucking Slashdot messages so we know who the fuck you are next time we fucking see you. Fuck?
Intel is skewing their numbers, they're counting dual-core cpus as two processors!
in the last 5 min?

Sweet. Irrational term of warranty. But then again, no one will ever be annoyed that something failed in the last possible moment.
However, e years is not the best warranty, as I am certain I have seen 3 years at least.

This is the grammar police. Drop your negatives and don't come out without your hands not down.
So do the math yourself. if AMD has 20% of the capacity of Intel, and both are maxed out, who sells more?
I hate math. Don't make me think.

Coincidence? Naah...
Uh oh.....time to start hating AMD.

If this keeps up we'll soon have to switch to intel to ensure we ssupport the underdog
