Intel tick tock good for AMD?

[mb103051]

if amd was smart and if it is possible they should release bulldozer now and scoop up sales while intel is fixing the SB problem...granted SB is a very fast setup but amd is so close to releasing BD it makes me wonder if some could be released earlier than projected..at least a 4 core and a few motherboards..id bet sales would skyrocket for amd and some SB potential customers would buy BD.....amd has been silent on the intel SB problem.....Just my thoughts.....

It is? I'm laughing at this because ARM is the success here.

Which has nothing to do with what I said. ARM doesn't compete in the same market (yet).

How many netbook CPUs has Intel shipped compared to ARM and AMD?

So it still stands that Intel in whipping AMD's ass in this market. Remember, it's lack of an Atom competitor that got AMDs CEO fired.

Intel IGP or APUs are not -quite- the same as what AMD has with Fusion, AMD IGPs or their standalone Radeons. The market share numbers are true, but they are cheap products, they don't really profit off those

I'd like the link that shows Intel doesn't make a profit on the Sandy Bridge CPUs or their Ix chipsets please.

Larrabee is still in development and will be released as Knight's Corner, it's just not being "pre-marketed" as a gaming GPU.

Call it what you want, it will not see release.

Intel says different: http://download.intel.com/pressroom/archive/reference/ISC_2010_Skaugen_keynote.pdf (look at page 38)

If they will ever make a video card for gaming based on this technology is a different story. Although to me the idea of dropping Larrabee as a gaming card technology and then almost instantly relaunching it as a GPGPU mostly sounds like a way for them to avoid the embarrassment of competing with Nvidia and AMD at a point when they simply can't do that and mature the technology in peace. There's no reason an x86-compatible GPGPU architecture couldn't be used to render games as long as they get it to work.

Why would it? The problem is known, the size (financial impact) of the problem is known, and the fix is in progress.

Unknowns are what cause stock price hits.

Because this market isnt the same as it use to be, I myself was a daytrader through all the new internet boom stocks and I made thousands and I lost thousands... News like this does NOT do well for its stock unless its more solid of a company then most, and who knows maybe Intel is... I was just making a comment about my opinion.... I still think it will show its true colors if we have a down turn in the market anytime soon, just watch...
