Intel Corp (INTC)

[tecate]

AMD : I didn't bring up AMD. Tecate did and now you did. I doubt if AMD is even discussed more than 20% of the time by Intel Execs. AMD has not gone anywhere for 2 decades, and not likely to do so on a sustained basis in future. It makes little sense to be discussing AMD so much on this thread (beside the entertainment value!). My criticism of Intels execution is not an acknowledgement of AMDs good execution. I would rather have Intel measure itself against what it has done in the past (early 90s) and what it is capable of doing with the resource it has.


I would disagree that AMD has not gone anywhere in 2 decades, they move up, they move down.. they have a fine lineup for now. Intel will make mistakes, every company does. The company is very large - while the manufacturing error is annoying, it is possible and it did happen and says nothing about the overall quality of Intel's products. I think it's nonsensical it measure Intel against itself in the 90s - Intel is measured against its competition in all products they produce. Right now, they are changing platforms, releasing new products across the board, new chipsets.. rather than whine about the few things that missed, given the spectrum of what they have accomplished in the last 6 months, I admire what the company has accomplished.. it's not easy to be number 1 and keep that position... also, being number 1 leads to constant negative articles and opinions about Intel. Just part of being number 1..
