AMD Plans Simultaneous Desktop and Mobile Chip Releases

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the everybody-skate dept.

wh173b0y writes "Tom's Hardware reports that AMD is planning to release both it's dual-core desktop and mobile chips at the same time. This news comes after AMD, who have been fairly quiet since the release of the Athlon FX-55, came up shorter than intel on the release dates for it's dual-core processors. Intel on the other hand has been busy planning more than a dozen different chips to release as well as pressing its software designers to embrace its 64-bit architecture."

    I love this marketing strategy. Advertise "Athlon" or "Opteron" using all the cool hype and stats about the most impressive chip you're making, to ensure the average consumer wants that chip [name], then sell the lowliest ones to the PC makers, and overprice the best ones for high-end servers.

    Microsoft has just released their much anticipated hands-free cordless mouse. Warning, it may hurt a little at first.
