AMD-INTEL WAR

[Jakus]

LOL,
Like many others I have been watching the new Conroe release, Now It maybe the motherboard shortages or suchlike but I would say AMD is outselling them 20:1
Now if I was AMD on their next release I would offer an Unlocked "enthusiasts" version, placed several up from the lower end of the range but reasonably priced,
These would sell like Hot cakes, due to the kudos even though 80% would never be overclocked...Then Bang! AMD is back where it was.

One thing is for sure is I think us Punters have gained rather than lost over the whole deal

Just my 2p worth

Just Looking around the etailers !

AMD certainly do not outsell Intel 20:1.

Jokester

No No, Sorry You miss understood, I was refering to AMD 64 sales vs Conroe
Intel is a massive Corporation !

Between enthusiasts the split was probably closer to 1:1, maybe 5:3 to AMD. But in the big markets, such as companies/schools/average users Intel would have been well ahead.

Also if AMD were to release an affordable FX chip (sempron FX? ) which is pretty much what youa re saying the only people who would be interested are the enthusiasts and overclockers etc. A very small market.

Sure, Please take my Post in the context and forum it was posted in

I think what the OP is driving at is that AMD have done better than many expected since the launch of Conroe due to their price cuts and the unavailability of most of the Conroe chips except to OEM suppliers. I never would have bought an X2 cpu if it wasn't for the price cuts and I'm sure there are many in the same boat.

However, AMD are still on the back foot atm and will have to do something more than just price cuts to get back the ground they still must be losing.

Thank You

lol ive bought amd for the past 5 pcs ive build but no way are amd outselling intel!! they are the biggest pc corp outside from microsoft every major pc builder uses them dell,pb,hp etc etc u think how many pcs dell sell a year compared to amd systems u gotta remeber people buying parts only makes up a very small % of sales!!!

Thought we covered that point about 10 posts back

The threads would certainly become more managable

The one and only reason for my original post was the fact that around the net it appears to me the Conroe E6300 has better availibility than the say 3800X2 and people are not selling out quickly.. this Supprised me!

I have no imformation about Intels or AMD's World sales and incorrectly assumed readers here would realise I was refering to our small PC modding community only.

Seems only a couple of people understood my ramblings, now I'm quite happy to take the blame for a poorly written thread header but as always I think many people seem to skip over the seemingly irrelevant bits
