AMD turns in $600 million loss
im not saying im surprised, im just saying that it was obvious n i hope AMD can do better in Q3-Q4.

thanks for your opinion...which i find to just be wrong, but it is your own statement which i can't neglect. AMD is not going to make a Yankee like comeback anywhere in the next 1 month or so... so i would probably recommend getting an Intel right now and overclocking it. I mean, you could probably get an AMD as it just fell in price, but it wouldn't be a smart thing to do unless you have a low budget or can't overclock.

When it comes to hardware, all I care about is performance, so I will go with what ever has great performance for the price, wither it be AMD or Intel. Although I don't want AMD to go away since that would stop the price wars unless another company can take on Intel like AMD has been.

Only a complete idiot would get an AMD processor for anything but an incredably low end system. | |

Although I prefer Intel, I would have to agree that we need AMD for competition if we want affordable "ownage in a can" Intel processors. Not to mention that if Intel has no one to compete with it will slow down how fast they develop new technology...and that just won't do.

I want IBM to get back into consumer processors instead of only server systems.... oh the 3-way war would be a wondrous thing... *only has a few dollars in wallet, but still can afford quad core*

Don't forget that AMD began K9 right after K8 and scrapped it (a completely new design - you wonder why they bought ATI?). Barcelona is just an evolution of the K8 from K7.
