It is reported that Intel sent a message to its more than 130.000 resellers and white-box builders worldwide, informing them that the company will cut prices of its still new quad processor family next week. The move of the giant chip producer can be seen as a way of responding to AMD's similar move, in a price ... |

Responding to various comments that appeared on several websites AMD said that it will not sell off its chip-producing factories although their financial situation is far from being impressive. AMD's market share has plummeted since the mass release of Core 2 CPUs and things are getting worse every day. R600 chi... |

AMD has been through some rough times throughout its existence but lately they have suffered one of the worst hits in the history. Now I don't know whether it's about the acquisition of Ati or the fact that Core 2 Duos are faster. Perhaps it's a combination of both. Anyway, AMD lost a big chunk of its ... |

At least on paper it is. Because in practice, Barcelona's appearance was almost inexistent. Few bechmarks ran on AMDs native quad-core series and I have to say that I wasn't very impressed. Barcelona's 128-bit FPUs coupled with a tuned memory controller helped it perform on par with INTEL's quad c... |

AMD's position in the server-class business has always been a problem. The introduction of K8 cores created a path between them and large system integrators (such as Dell) but that only managed to bring them some 10% of the total market. Opterons had a lot to do with AMDs increase since they outperformed Xeons i... |

Lately the CPU world has been suffering from some serious architectural changes. While that happens pretty often, such a change generally ends up as a new technology ready to be integrated in a future CPU. Well it seems that not everything can go as smooth as it should since it seems that AMD has suffered from some s... |

Lately INTEL has been trying to get everyone's attention with its new CPUs. Well, maybe lately is a little off since INTEL has tried that throughout the latest years. But now, more than ever, INTEL has a perfectly good reason to do that since AMD's Barcelona is almost an equal competitor. Almost...Almost a ... |

About 12 hours ago AMD showcased its first Barcelona quad-core systems at Computex 2007. The news itself was by no means shocking (since everyone expected AMD to do just that) but it turned some heads nonetheless. Especially since AMD's engineers took the liberty to showcase a 64-bit version of Windows 2003 Entr... |

It seems like the new office will offer Yahoo's products to customers for UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany. According to mad.co.uk, the center is especially addr... |

Sometimes it makes me wonder why would Intel go to so much trouble to take out a company such as AMD, which, after all, doesn't have the same market share or influence as the power hog. Maybe it's just the way it's got to be between giants, like McDonalds and KFC, or Mercedes and Audi. And if by any ch... |

Since Intel came out with their "world's first quad-core processor", people started believing that the chip giant had the upper hand on AMD, and their supremacy in the processor business is being proven once again by succeeding in having the quad-core processor first. But AMD had another opinion on the matter, t... |
