They really haven't. AMD was so far behind Intel they were in danger of going extinct in data centers. Only very recently have they caught up again to be a credible competitor.
This bug and Intel's response is very good timing for AMD though.
- tyingq 9y agoThey have been in a similar position before. It took Intel a while to respond to x64/Opteron. AMD was soaring for while back then.
- xenadu02 9y agoIt was Intel’s anti-competitive and illegal actions that prevented AMD from owning the market during the several year period when Opteron was not only the best CPU but the only 64-bit x86 CPU. Unfortunately the legal process was far too slow and the penalties were a pittance compared to the profits. It benefits all of us to have a competitive market for x86 CPUs.
