Intel Admits To Falling Behind AMD

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."

The competitor has a name!

Nothiong pisses me off more than giant corporations who are afraid to say the name of "our competitor". FOR FUCK'S SAKE, THEY HAVE A NAME, AND THAT NAME IS "AMD".

When I hear a company fuckwit wank on and on about this shit, it really gets up my goat. I mean, why wouldn't you just come out and say their name? If you can admit they're stealing your market share, building better chips, and taking the technological high ground from you, the very least you can do is dignify them with their correct name.

I think AMD are almost as guilty here, although I have heard their executives utter "The I word" from time to time.

Come on Intel, AMD aren't just a blip on your horizon, they're a 300 lb gorilla bending you over and fucking you up the arse. The fact you are a 3000 (Three Thousand) pound gorilla should just make you feel even more embarassed than you already are!
