To keep clear of offending anyone. I coped this from another forum. I could have used a post from here but this is better this way. Please read this statement.
Now for fun. Underline all false statemets. Than there is this OH my God Intel is going to rape us on prices.
Problem with this theory is its AMD fanbois saying it. It also is a lie . If Intel CPU'd are more powerful and efficient. Than AMD processors will be selling very cheap. SO this in fact would be cause for a more diverse pricing . If you want the top of the line you have to pay for it . Just like we did 11/2 years ago when AMD had the performance lead.
ANYway here is the comment I coped.
there are many microprocessor companies but not as many as software companies.
The two markets are not the same, software companies can develop on the platform's of their choice. x86-64 is the only microprocessor platform that is supported by every software company and only platform that a microprocessor company such as AMD can compete in. Even Intel does not have the power to move the markets on to a new platform, we are yet to see anything from IA64. But Intel is sole controller of the x86 platform and they are the ones that give out licence's meaning that if they do anything that would eliminate competition from the market would be seen as major case of monopoly and the government will have to step in.
MS has the Windows as the OS platform but in case of software Linux and Unix markets are prominent enough for monopoly not be as clear cut as with x86-64 case.
Remember how AMD got started? The law will step in again if it needs to. However unlike before AMD is major contributor to the x86 platform as its now called x86-64 thanks to their additions which means that Intel has not got 100% rights over the platform which means that AMD can be sold on and the new owner can retain the x86-64 licence.
Intel has been killing its margins as much it can afford to put pressure on AMD so that they have a reason to go back to high margins that they enjoyed for so long. They have now achieved that and are backing off not for sake of AMD but for sake of their own profits, they want them back.
The only parts of AMD i believe need to be fired are the CEO and the PR team. The CEO for not seeing as marketing being #2 most important part of his company's success, and the PR team because they managed to kill off the little bit of faith people had in AMD since these days every rumour thrown out about them is believed more then the actual press release coming from AMD. Such us this one we are discussing in this thread and the ones on the delay of R700.
Shintai, you can believe what ever you like about us who put a little bit faith in AMD instead of rumours, but let me just explain you this. Your constant negativity on AMD is just waste of your time and the only thing that comes out of it is people getting annoyed at your constant ignorance for other peoples right to their own opinion. Also your ignorance to the points of the argument that don't allow you to reach the conclusion you like.
With AMD struggling all of us are suffering as that means lower performance and higher prices from our PC's, and with your blind support to Intel you only make these times that much worse and annoying as many of us have to spend a lot of our time stopping you from spreading rumours as facts.
