Intel Admits To Falling Behind AMD

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they've-still-got-a-good-run-going dept.

Vicegrip writes "CNN is carrying a Fortune story covering an analyst meeting held on Thursday. There, CEO Otellini admitted Intel has fallen behind AMD with lost market share, technological leadership, and recently profitability. Intel also announced cuts to 1 Billion in spending." From the article: "Intel's market share recently slipped below 80%, and Otellini strongly emphasized the need for market share gains in all his remarks. On the other hand, he also suggested that Intel's recent market share losses (to AMD, whose name was not mentioned) were in line with historical variations which tracked to Intel's product generations."

    It had to be said. Now I'm off to buy myself a new 17" MacBook Pro.

    To be out done by a knockoff! Oh well, Intel never impressed me much. Didn't they start out by making Zenith knockoffs and build on that? And isn't that really what they are still selling? There some good chips out there, but IP law keeps then under lockdown. What a shame. Why do the worse ones get the biggest marketshare?

  3. Allow upgrading and they will come... by llZENll · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ok, let me take this post as a chance to fume about the condition of the upgradability of computers. Please O Please Intel or AMD, realease a fucking system that isn't obsolete in 6 months, and by obsolete I don't mean slow as balls, but something that can actually be UPGRADED for a few years.

    I have always built my own computers, and everytime I want to upgrade it seems I have to buy a whole new fucking motherboard, CPU, memory, and now its even gotten to the video card, with all the new vid slots. Its just fucking insane, and lets not even get into the whole fact that most of the faster memory and video card busses are fucking worthless and provide absolutely no REAL WORLD advantage. Quit coming out with a new fucking socket every month, 1 more pin of glory ain't going to do shit...
