Intel leveraged monopolostic deals to hold the lead, not process advantage
- unixhero 9y agoGood point, but to be fair. Intel cpus are better.
- steve_musk 9y agoThis wasn’t true when Intel was conspiring with PC manufacturers though.
- brianwawok 9y agoBut what would have happened if AMD had juicy Dell and other OEM partnerships in the desktop era? Desktops in 2000 are smartphones in 2015. Billions of dollars.
- unixhero 9y agoSure. But in the 2000 era, the AMD cpu's were crap in comparison to Intel. I know I know, it's unfair, and now they are much better. But I will forever hold a grudge. Ryzen looks great btw. I remember this classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRn8ri9tKf8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRn8ri9tKf8
- foota 9y agoThey're certainly up in some areas, but the latest gen brings real competition.
