AMD Desktops Outsell Intel

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the powerful-all-caps-mode dept.

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."

    ATI have cheated on benchmarks just as often. How quickly people forget. Quack quack.

    I hate people who sign their fucking slashdot messages with their name. It's not a fucking business letter you learnt to write in english class, it's a slashdot comment! 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. If you really love to see your fucking name on a fucking webpage, I recommend "Frontpage for fucking dummies".

    I fail to understand why posts like this get modded up. How is this an interesting statement? Is there a (-1 Boring) or (-1 Uninspiring) mod in the works? Please, can we at least try to quit pandering to karma whores?

  7. Intel is not faster than AMD by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Intel has faster clock speeds, but AMD chips are faster than Intels. A 2.0Ghz AMD chip will outperform a 3.0Ghz Intel. It will also be cheaper. It will also have less heat output, and take less power.

    For all your supposed tech savvy, you /. guys sure are about a year behind the times. I am not an AMD fanboy, I buy whatever has the best performance per dollar. I haven't bought an Intel since the classic 300a Celerons. Since that time, AMD has given more performance per dollar, and more recently, in the last year, AMD has been on the top of absolute performance.

    Don't you guys read any reputable reviews and benchmarks? Spend less time bashing microsoft and do some more research.

    Have you seen how many utterly pointless upgrades have been done over the years because of it?
