Title: FUCK. AMD drifts away from the Desktop market
Post by: Cake Faice on November 29, 2011, 04:45:41 PM: Now that there is hardly a competition with Intel anymore, Intel is probably going to go full monopoly and probably spike their prices. So long for the graphics cards too. (http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1143975)

Post by: Supertoaster on November 30, 2011, 02:37:50 PM: I'd be interested to see Nvidia make some desktop processors. I can imagine them either making more economic CPU's (like how AMD is almost always cheaper) or they will fail and make a $800 CPU with the peformance of an i3

well, the few i've experienced were

The monopoly part is bad, though.

Post by: Supertoaster on December 03, 2011, 09:15:15 PM: I plan to upgrade my motherboard and cpu, I was going to get an i3 (since most are better then my Phenom II 810 X4) or one of the cheaper i5's.

Save a little more and get an I5

I wonder if AMD had any TV commercials, I haven't seen one to this date and instead I've seen a bunch of Intel ones.

Buy 2 of them super cheap and make computers. Then keep them 'til they know how to use them, and show them.

Post by: Osme on December 09, 2011, 02:03:01 AM: They really wont be able to raise prices for a few years after this, since AMD CPUS will get the job done still for a lower price. Hopefully AMD comes back with competition. I would still stick with Intel but if AMD were gone... Prices would go up and Intel would have no real need for developing new CPUS.

Post by: Cake Faice on December 09, 2011, 01:56:26 PM: Well in the future I'm not going to buy another AMD graphics card since they have too many issues with drivers, so I won't need to worry about the GPU market, but the CPU market...oh dears.
Title: Re: FUCK. AMD drifts away from the Desktop market
Post by: Supertoaster on December 12, 2011, 11:19:02 PM: If Intel has no competition, they will have no need to make faster CPU's. Then so ends the electronic revolution.

Then suddenly, Nvidia?

Post by: coolzeldad on December 20, 2011, 02:25:28 AM: Well, if you read the actual AMD press release, they were saying that their sole goal is not to compete with Intel. (Don't have link atm)

However, they clarified saying that they will still be in the market, just not for competition as the sole purpose.

Kinda odd press statement to make in the first place, imo.

Here's source that updated etc.
