In San Francisco for a while, all of the BART(subway) stations were plastered with pretty clever ads for Opterons.

advertising seemed to work for intel, till this day you have people buying P-D 805 space-heaters (oops, I mean processors ;)) cause in general most people don't know that much about the computers they buy

As a matter of fact, it is even more useful to advertise now since Intel has a better product. One major goal of advertising is to make your clients feel better about purchasing your products and to keep these clients.

If AMD didn't advertise, people will be headed toward Intel for their newer computers..but now that AMD did advertise, then they may get a few people attention like those that do not know yet about Core 2.
