>Sounds like a pretty clear admission by AMD that their products were junk.

Sounds like you agree with me that Intel has neve faced a robust alternative consumer platform before now.

Thanks for the help, bro.

Elmer, I miss statements like "during the last decades", "ever", or a finer differentiation between products in Henri's statement. This was in 2004, when the Athlon wave vs. PIII and Willamette were long gone and Opteron appeared as a server product, while Athlon 64 never reached a similar position as Athlon in 1999.

And as a VP he surely doesn't count to the majority of people who live on a smaller budget. When price doesn't matter, Henri's statement is OK.

Intel's CPUs cost more because they usually deliver more. But it's not a linear relationship, so that price/performance is something where AMD is still able to win. OTOH the CPU price difference becomes relatively smaller when one looks at the system's total cost.
