RAHAHA, AMD Jokes at Intel's Expense

[Zorba]

ROTFLMAO!!




<< You Know You're a Computer Nerd When: You fall out of your chair laughing when one company pokes fun at another >>



Amen!

I always find myself trying to explain jokes like this to other people. It is at that point that i realize just how much of a geek I truly am.

 

[DC4ever]

Bahahahhahahahahahahh! thats great.. what is that mobo?! I must have it!

 

[nortexoid]

uh, that's an AMD reference board for their new clawhammer 64-bit x86 processor...

getting your hands on it? unlikely

 

[Mean MrMustard]

AMD is about to own... ...again.

 

[joohang]

Hahahahaha LOL

 

[yllus]

You all have severe problems if you found that funny. The most I gathered up with an "interesting...".

 

[ssanches]

ROFL

I just cannot believe AMD actually "printed" that thing on those prototypes!! Too bad those bar code stickers obstruct the full view

 

[Aquaman]

<< ROFLMAO!!! :Q >>

I smell lawsuits ... let's see ... slander, copyright violation(s), etc. ...

 

[Bozz]

Can anybody say SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING!!

They knew all of you would pick it up, it was a matter of hours after the photo was released, it gets people talking about it and what do you end up with? Look at this thread

 

[LikeLinus]

It's funny in one way, but it's rather lame in the other. Why does AMD always find the need to slam Intel? Can they not fight their battles like real men and play fair? Have you seen Intel slander or talk trash about AMD? Nope! But we've all seen AMD do commercials, then the whole PR rating to save face from making themselves look stupid, now on to this? Not very good business tactics. It doesn't make yourself look better to slam other products. All in poor taste. They really need to focuse on THEMSELVES and the fact that they are losing money left and right.

For a company that steals alot of Intels ideas, why do this?

 

[gregor7777]

What's the funiest about it is that it was at Intel's Developer's Forum.

It's just a jab linus, take it easy.

Aparently somone doesn't know what slander is or copyright laws.

Well, first off, how aren't they playing fair? It's a jab as gregor said, it's not meant for everyone to see or understand (95% of people who own a computer with this mobo in them will have no idea). It's not like it's hurting intel's sales. How aren't they focusing on themselves? It's not like it took more than 5 minutes of man hours to have this put on the motherboard. BTW, everyone in the tech industry is losing money...if this was 5 years ago, AMD would be in deep sh!t, but they are still in an upswing and not losing an unbearable amount. If AMD steals ideas from Intel, why isn't AMD out of business and constantly being sued by Intel? Are you referring to the freaking IHS on the new *Hammer chips?

Great, now I look like I'm in bed with AMD...truth is, I don't *like* companies, I can dislike them (RAMBUS), but they are all out to get my money...and my money goes where I can get the best product.

DAMN DUDE, TAKE A CHILL PILL!!! It's a joke put on an AMD REFERENCE BOARD!!! GEEZ, it's not like the buying public will get the board. Don't get your panties in a bunch!

What everybody else said. AMD is proud that they stole the limelight from Intel in the smallish community of enthusiasts. Goodness knows, they've been out of it since the northwood, and before that they'd been at a standstill since the p4 hit its stride.

With Saunders III on his way out, we won't hear as much about how stupid intel is.

I don't think AMD has done anything but "fight their battles like real men and play fair." Intel has tried to stop their growth a couple times, most notably by threatening mobo makers who supported the first athlons. The PR system, in case you were asleep, has been a great success compared to what could have happened. Really, as I think AMD itself realizes, it's an unfortunate necessity. Furthermore, somebody who would judge the quality of a product by a tiny PR jab is looking for a reason to dismiss a company.

Um you're the one that needs to relax? All i was doing was speaking my mind. I think AMD is just lame for resorting to these tactics. Making fun of other companies (as they've done in the past) is silly.

Sorry guys...but i'm perfectly calm. You're the ones jumping up and down laughing about this. It really isn't that funny. Silly nerds

FYI i run an AMD system. "Furthermore, somebody who would judge the quality of a product by a tiny PR jab is looking for a reason to dismiss a company." I have no reason to dismiss the company

Yea, Ok, LikeLinus. AMD has a million lame tactics and Intel is a perfect angel. BRB going to go turn on my p3 because it speeds up the internet or my p4 which is the only true computer that can rip at CD quality.

And I'm going to go turn on my computer that does not have a motherboard by a manufacturer that was pressured by intel into not making AMD boards.

 

[LikeLinus]

CAn either of you fools show me exactly where i said Intel was a perfect company?

Didn't think so. Think before you speak. Typical.

 

[AGodspeed]

For a company that steals alot of Intels ideas, why do this?

For a person that doesn't know what he's talking about, why post?

So, how about you actually prove that unsubstantiated statement. And for god sakes, mention something besides the x86 ISA, which AMD licensed, and didn't "steal."

 

[bluemax]

I don't see what the big deal is... [shrug] AMD wasn't doing anything slanderous, they just had a nice little one bad song printed on a Solo board. Solo... song. Makes sense. The fact that the song just happens to be the Intel theme is just plain funny.

 

[AGodspeed]

NFS4, you might want to update this thread. Go to amdzone and check out the latest news, it looks like AMD is in fact not poking fun at Intel, it seems the notes are different.

I just watched the notes on the Solo board, as far as I can encrypt them. It is not exactly the Intel-jingle but something like an answer to that.

If you start the Intel-Jingle from beginning and continue with increasing intervals you get the following order: third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and so on.

The Intel-jingle consists of the third and fourth, or in notes: D - F sharp - D - G The jingle from the Soloboard consists of the fourth and fifth, D - G - D - A

The musical message behind the notes could be interpreted as follows: I am one step forward!

<< The musical message behind the notes could be interpreted as follows: I am one step forward! >>



Oh my :Q That's even worse--very harsh but still funny. Yeah, I was going to install Finale' 3.0 (kinda old but I got it for free back in the days) and see if AMD hired the right musicians... oh well--no need to do it now.

 

[LikeLinus]

You'd have to be freaking blind not to notice that AMD uses ALOT of Intels ideas and doesnt have an original bone in it's corporate body.

AGodspeed have you taken the time to even READ the AT article Here's a quote

"The first thing we noticed about the CPUs is that they look a lot like the Socket-478 Pentium 4 processors. In fact, AMD did borrow quite a bit from Intel in designing the packaging of the CPUs as both the ClawHammer and SledgeHammer parts feature integrated heat spreaders (IHS), a technology which Intel has been using for almost two years now."

A. Ok first they are stealing package design and the use of the Heat Spreader.
B. 3dNow? Lame attemp to copy SSE Instructions (Which now AMD uses instead of it's own)
c. AMD were following in Intels foosteps by calling their chip the "Athlon 4".
d. "You'll also notice that the board features an ATX12V power connector which was originally introduced with the first Pentium 4 platforms"
e. Thermal Protection? (Yet AMD is stupid enough to make it dependant on the motherboard producers...bad idea).

This is just off the top of my head. AMD does steal alot of product ideas from Intel, this is known. If you can't figure that out for yourself....you're the one who doesnt deseve to post. You really need to clean up that holier than thou act. You always tell people not to post and act like you're all that. It's getting pretty lame.

All i said was it was LAME...which it is. If you've ever owned a business you'd understand. Disgracing and making fun of the competition only makes you seem childish and lame. They intentionally did this and knew people would see it. I just think its lame, thats all. I'm allowed to have that opinion. So eat it!

Haha, lol.

1. AMD's K6 processor had an integrated heat spreader, and it came out well before the Pentium 4. Here's the pic.
2. 3DNow also came out before SSE did. It's not "copying" anything even if it did come out after SSE, since it's a way of optimizing your processor's performance. That?s like saying AMD copies Intel because they?re converting over to the .13-micron process a few months after Intel.
3. How is AMD "following in Intel's footsteps" simply by naming their mobile processor "Athlon 4." Lol, uh, ok. I guess AMD's marketing team isn't talented, how about you stick to engineering examples and not marketing. I might as well say that NetBurst sucks as a name. Can you at least not veer off into an unrelated matter?
4. Who gives a hoot if they're using the same power connector as the P4, if anything AMD is standardizing the industry dope. You think Intel invented the ATX12V? Cmon now...
5. Now what does "Thermal Protection" have to do with AMD copying Intel in any way? You seem to just be spouting random stuff now.

No hard feelings, but you seem to like to slam AMD back and forth, none stop. And that's not the problem really, the problem is that you almost never back up your AMD slam attacks, or when you do it's just random information that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

So as I have asked you before, exactly how does AMD steals alot of Intels ideas?
