AMD was already poised to eat their lunch last time, Intel had to go to illegal lengths to keep their commercial lead.
I'd expect AMD to have learned the lesson and get away with their lead this time.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoIrrelevant. AMD doesn’t own its own fabs anymore, and I think they rely on the expertise for whoever happens to be fanning their chips, allowing them to simply choose the fab with the best process while they focus on architecture.
- undersuit 7y agoMaybe that's the lesson AMD learned?
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoNo. It’s just the reality of the situation. Perhaps intel would do better to separate their fab and architecture divisions, or maybe they are already sufficiently separated internally anyways.
- bryanlarsen 7y agoIntel did not lose their process lead during that period, it was a design problem; NetBurst was a bad idea.
