AMD no longer competing with Intel, goes Mobile

[pieman109]

Anyone noticed the price of i5 2500K oem cpus for sale here? The last time I looked the they were around the £155 mark, now they're £191.99, £36 more expensive. Also take a gander at the 2600K oem, £300 as near as damn it, I could've sworn they nearer £250 a week or so ago.
Also, the P II 955BE retail is now £119.99 thats up by a good few quid as well.
Just an observation really.

I just saw this article:

It looks like AMD is hiring some new people including people with experience of SoC designs.

It was all relative though, the competing Intel chips were priced high at the time? (If I remember right)
This thread is fairly hilarious.

You've got people actively posting against AMD like they have had their lives ruined by them. Intel have never done wrong by them.

You've got people who have blind faith in AMDs current release CD. Newsflash, the performance improvement in Windows 8 isn't that significant... Not enough to make buying a BD chip a good idea right now.
You don't buy a CPU NOW because it might work a little better a year down the road.

I almost thought this was the graphics forum for a while...

Take a look for yourself regarding CPU prices at the time.
