Intel to Take Online Suggestions for New Chips

hhavensteincw writes "Intel has quietly launched a new online community that it plans to use to take feedback and suggestions from OEMs and end users for new features in its vPro chips and management software. Intel envisions that the community will grow to allow users to get answers from other community members faster than Intel's support group can answer questions."

"Robert Duffy, Intel's online communities strategist, added that some of the impetus behind creating the community was to boost online traffic to Intel."

Has anyone else noticed how great the AMD-Intel marketshare battle has been for consumers? Intel, in particular, seems to have woken up and begun providing really good CPU's, as well as trying to reach out to the community through things like this.

AMD/Intel should stand as a primary example of why honest competition is great for a market.

Drop the Treacherous Computing chip?

Even though Intel is not going to do this in the foreseable future, at least not in a non-EU release (there's a chance our legislators may wisen up... oh well, whom am I kidding?), yelling loud enough and often enough may at least give Intel a hint that they're doing something wrong.
