Intel has best quarter in its history

[BD231]

I don't think ive ever seen an AMD commercial. I definitely remember the p4 commercials though

AMD always used the likes of Compaq, HP or retail stores and magazines to promote their processors. A good example is the old Compaq commercials that would always play the AMD sound back when Intel was promoting men in blue jump suits. They both had specific chimes that were all over TV for ages.

Now I only see the Intel tune played.

If you read your newspaper chance's are you'll see an AMD logo somewhere and they're all over retail products, they're pretty hard to miss if you're buying a computer.

Nope, its mainly enterprise.

It seems they got net income increase by maximizing profits, ie. lowering operating costs without lowering total revenue. The move to 32nm is said to be one part of that. See why its important they progress in process technology?

It also seems that they've purchased Hydra and ran it into the ground after a short release stint.

Did Intel actually purchase Lucid Hydra? All I heard was that they invested into it. Either way I hope the Hydra solution is available on my next build, as I much prefer their solution over AFR, despite being much more costly.

?? Enterprise does not exist within "the Market"?

what do you mean it does no exist within the market?

Xeons are listed as enterprise
I5520 platform is entirely enterprise
SAS Controllers are also catigorized as enterprise
FB-DDR3 ram with ECC is also enterprise

for every 1 dollar they make selling an i7 cpu, they make about 5 dollars on a X5500 cpu.

Intel could honestly careless about there consumer brand.
They wouldnt even be depressed if AMD took half the consumer market minus portables.

Assume you got an entire US state buying 1 million dollars in intel processors, its not much vs a Corporation doing a HW refresh with a 20 million dollar budget.

Yes, a specified link it would have been helpful. And about Intel and AMD,of course first always evolved faster and kept the steps with the needs.

This is why I asked that

I also point out that you misread my question. 😉
