AMD Launches Counterstrike Against Core 2 Duo
DigitalDame2 writes to mention a PC Magazine article about the AMD 4x4 enthusiast platform, which is meant to counter Core 2 Duo. The article observes that AMD is now facing many of the same business practices it used in its war against Intel. From the article: "While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, improvement can often be a slap in the face. Intel's C2D was designed with both low power and performance per watt in mind, two key design metrics that helped AMD cut into Intel's market share with the Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 X2. And, as preliminary numbers have indicated and final performance reviews now show, the C2D has learned its lesson well: its performance now tops AMD's Athlon 64 architecture by a substantial margin."
I don't know what tickle is, but the ads here on slashdot the last few days seem really out of place. I just can't imagine many slashdot readers clicking on a banner ad that says "Which of these flying animals is a mammal? ()Bat, ()Fly, ()Chicken. Tickle." I'm surprised it's not blinking with animated cartoon fonts. I'm not complaining, I'm just somewhat surprised they're paying for what would seem a poorly-targeted advertisement.
