AMD Not Trying To Get Its Chips Into Low-Cost Tablets

Posted by samzenpus on from the not-interested dept.

jfruh (300774) writes "While Intel is going after low-end Android tablets in a big way chipmaking x86 rival AMD is taking a more judicious approach, looking to focus on the high end. 'This idea of contra revenue is foreign to us,' said AMD's CEO, referring to Intel's strategy of selling chips at a loss to boost market share. But will Intel's vast resources keep AMD in its niche?"

    They're making enough money on their high-end televisions. Let Sony have the low end radio market....

    Okay, Intel chips tend to outperform AMD on a clock-for-clock and core-for-core basis. So Intel has the high end pretty firmly locked in.

    And Intel's going after the low end as well.

    So where does that leave AMD?

    Pretty much with whatever leavings Intel chucks their way?
