I need proof on everything you said.
Show me your amd stock sale.
Show me the intel contract.
Show me where anandtech's advertising revenue comes from.
Show me!
No need to give you proofs , believe me or not , you are free..
But to disgress a little (hope the mods are cools..) , my pro degree
is on mathematics applied to markets tools, but no degree was needed
to assert that AMD s stock price was way inflated prior to the stock
market total collapse, with no relation with the firm s fundamentals.
Those with the correct tools did also know back in 2007 that the market
was exactly at the same peak value that the preceding one in 2001 s
fist months..
It always amazed me how WStreet banksters are capable of inflating
a stock price before passing the rear speed by short selling it.
Generaly, i put my devotion on Alcatel Lucent but only with daily
position , but on the case of Amd and Thomson , i did stay in position
though it was renegotiated in a daily basis.
As for the contract that Intel did sign with the reatailer , which in
france was Hypermedia now renamed as Saturn , it stipulated the
following :
- Intel pay for 50% of the advertising the retailer make , provided
the advertising show a PC with a big logo "intel inside".
- The retailer engage to not sell PC that have a non intel CPU.
The second clause, according to EU laws is illegal, the very same
EU laws say one can not take advantage of such a contract to
eliminate the concurence, moreover if the advertising is made
with Intel s name only and therefore do not benefit to its competitor.
Of course, intel did send from time to time an employee to check
if there wasn t an annoying beast in the shelves of the retailer.
As a consequence, the shelves were filled with the infamous
willamette P4 1.3 or 1.4, and no athlon 1g or 1.2g in sight...
This is how Intel retained its market, the time to devellope
a better processor which came only 5 years later.
AMD was then forced to reduce drastically its price and sell
its superior product at manufacturing costs, thus making
the good bye kiss to eventual profits that would have
allowed them to increase their capacity production.
The A64 came late 2003 , and did really unlock the situation,
but it was already too late, since its dominance didn t
exceed 2 years, not counting that intel did ressort to
dirty arrangements with some manufacturers to win some
time before they have something competitive.
As for Anandtech revenues, well , these years , there have
been a lot of Intel adverts in this site , and they surely count
for a sizable part of the site s income..
At least way more than what AMD has to offer....
