Intel's New Architecture Too Late?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the day-late-and-a-dollar-short dept.

rts008 writes to tell us that TG Daily has an interesting interview with Randy Allen, AMD's vice president of the server products division, about (among other things) AMD's recent stellar fourth quarter numbers. From the article: "Responsible for that shrinking lead is especially AMD's server products group. Intel's CEO Paul Otellini recently acknowledged that Intel had to give up market shares to AMD and will likely be forced to hand over more shares until the next generation of server chips arrives. [...] AMD's Randy Allen explains in this conversation with TG Daily why he believes that Intel will need much more than a new processor to be able to slow AMD's growth."

    Last time I tried putting a cat in a bag, I ended up getting my face clawed.

    I'm trying make this into an analogy. I can't. But cats and bags just dredges up bad memories.

    Carry on.
