Yup and no one is making any money at all in the Tech sector. This is beyond just AMD.

So what if amd's are mostly 1-2 Ghz, I bet they do better then most p4 2.0-2.8 Ghz's.
Please, put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard...

Im just mad Intel can just price a cpu to whatever they want it to.
Holy Jesus, look how insanely high Intel is pricing their high end CPU!
P4 3.06GHz Hype Threading enabled CPU for $395!
Less than $400 for a TOP end CPU. That is crazy! The nerve of Intel.

Now AMD on the other hand is charging a small price of $334 for their top end CPU.

The difference is amazing! A whole $60 difference, I mean, that is like the price of a game!! :Q How can Intel charge such a ridiculous price for their CPUs?! They're evil, just plain evil I tell you! ;)

You forgot to point out that the P4 is a Retail version, while the Barton is OEM. ;)

Nope, I priced the retail version for both. ;)
Hmmm... Guess I should've used that scroll wheel thingy on my mouse. :eek:

Speech-to-text anyone? If it comes with a grammar checker it will certainly elevate things around here ;)

In the past 16 years, AMD has had eight profitable years and eight in the red. Total net earnings since the end of 1986, including acquisitions and sell-offs, comes to around $350 million, about the same as Intel earns in six weeks.

AMD has been in a slump for over two years now.... back at the height of the tech boom AMD had approx. 23% of the market share of microprocessors... they have since fallen to about 19-20%.

I did a financial analysis of the Annual Report from 2001 and 2000 (2002 AR wasn't out in March when I did my analysis) and man did things look bad.... Income from Operations was down but to make it worse so was Financial and Investing Activities. 2002 couldn't have been any worse the way the market has been.

I have about 20 graphs that I did of all the major Financial ratios if anyone is interested... its in Powerpoint ofcourse. Heheh and I compared AMD performance to IBM for the heck of it. Now IBM is a company with staying power.
