Pretty lame if you ask me. Guy sounds like he's selling Depends or phramacuticals.

AMD needs some pizzaz something memorable.. Personally I'd have some dudes base jumping, and other crazy xtreme sports, gotta have boobies in bikini tops doing the same, gotta have young good lookers talking about never settle for boring, second best etc.

Took you long enough . It was posted on AT's front page Sunday.

Ph Yeah -- but I see no thread.

Mods delete if you wish.

I dunno Zebo, they seem to be focussing that commercial mostly towards a certain professional crowd than your average beer-guzzling-wife-beater...

 

[Wingznut]

Do you guys think if your average mom or dad saw that commercial, they'd know what it was for? Or even care?

No, and no. But then again the channel the commerical was aired on (OLN) attracts a rather select audience.

OMG :thumbsup: for AMD ... but yes Zebo there does need to be some boobies in it

 

[RichUK]

i think they need those blue guys on surf boards, that Intel had

Yea better than those anorexic dweebs on bikes in speedos.. that might fly in europe but not in USA.

Doesn't AMD sponsor Lance Armstrong's team in the Tour de France or something?

Anyway, that ad struck me as being a weird combination of faux tech demo and car ad. They really ought to hire on whichever firm does Apple's ads instead.

At least it doesnt suck like the original ones they did about 64bits. I dont think the 64bit ones ever aired though.

AMD does sponser team discovery, they have been doing a fair amount of advertising on OLN, I agree the commercial isn't that great but its a step in the right direction

Ohhh negative..

Well I?m not sure on your first point, they have made a start. It' about CPU's which is quite clear, and maybe they do or don?t care.

To be honest I don?t think the average mom or dad understands anything about blue men acting funny to promote chips, but Intel pumped it out to high heaven.

Besides, nothing wrong with a bit of competition. Or is there

 

[clarkey01]

AMD need naked chicks with green dildo's saying " AMD ME". Then Hector walks along...

How about AMD comdoms ?

I can just picture hector and the board " Here's the ad......And there goes our budget for the next 4 quaters!"

I simply asked a question. By drawing a conclusion to my opinion, you are reading WAY more into it.


On the CPU forum, people talk about bias all the time. Even though the question I posed is a very good one, and completely without bias, it was bound to happen that someone would begin to point fingers.

Hence the reason I rarely post here anymore.

The ad sucked! Face it clark, unmemorable as background noise. AMD needs some crazy sh1t since they can't afford to run a billion ads like intel for the stuff to sink into your brain.. They need to win whatever the academy award for TV ads is so they get others to play it for free.

No I got in from a night shift in a good mood.

Boobies wont fly, don't Americans freak out when boobies are seen on TV (as illustrated at some sporting event, boobie showing performed by a singer)?

 

[clarkey01]

I dont know whats up everyones backside at the moment, I'll stop posting in that case. Cant joke on these forums for sh*t.

AMD's green men > Intels blue men.

AMD used to sponsor Blackburn Football club in the English Premiership and I believe they did a lot of sponsoring on Formula 1.

Darts, Snooker and Rugby are rather popular sports they could advertise on.

Sale Sharks, I knew the owners daughter charlie pitty we dont speak anymore or I'd ask her to tell her dad to increase the deal for a few more years.
