Intel shots fired at AMD.

[humbug]

For refreshing old cores under new naming schemes, the hypocrisy

 

[humbug]

Yes, I read this yesterday, bit childish to be honest, but hey its intel.

As Steve said AMD are getting in more and more mobile and handheld devices. It feels desperate on Intel's part.
In fact Intel aren't getting a sniff in any of the handhelds, i think they have one obscure handheld that no ones interested in, AMD have the Steam Deck, the Asus Ali, the Lenovo Legion Go and 3 others.

AMD have already made the server space unprofitable for Intel, the DIY market now favours AMD, What Intel have left is dominating the pre-buld and laptops but even that is being slowly eroded as Intel find it increasingly difficult to keep AMD out. they can't even get a look in for new and growing markets like handhelds.

 

[humbug]

Just watched the video, as I only skimmed the document yesterday. Honestly after watching it all it genuinely does feel like its an April fool or something, what an earth were they thinking, I can only guess they are hoping that the ignorant (not best choice of words I know) parents of pupils will read this and base their buying decisions on it. I have a feeling though that it will alienate more than it helps especially with Steve etc making these videos.

I think its material they are likely circulating around schools. We look at it and think its funny, which it is, its completely daft.... but when its aimed (quite literally as this slides say) at 5 to 15 year old's it probably works, if as an Intel rep you rock up at a school to tell a bunch of 10 year old's "AMD suck Intel good" quite a lot of them will pester their parents to buy a laptop that's specifically Intel.

Its desperate, its pathetic, but its what they are going to do, because they are.

 

[humbug]

Quite Possibly, however if the kids pestering are anything like my two, they are already on tiktok, youtube etc etc and have already seen videos like GN, well one can hope at least.

Ah... true.

 

[humbug]

That material is aimed at the buyers for the schools, they know what they are doing. Probably some "incentive schemes" too

Yeah, i don't know, i'm only making assumptions here but Intel's server space is already unprofitable, they are making a couple of % profit, if that, how can they not be making any money of chips that are supposed to cost thousands? i know its not simply BOM costs, there are service costs ecte.... but AMD are making 40%, so people are actually paying real money for AMD's datacentre products, Intel must have "incentives" for them not to be making anything.

You know what, that's fine, if Intel want to keep giving their #### away to try and fail to stop AMD i'm happy to see them suffer for their silly little games.

 

[humbug]

Intel did have huge subsidies towards building new fabs in the US, this no doubt artificially boosted Intel's financials in the current and long term. US government will not let Intel suffer.

Is that why they will be paying TSMC to make their chips, because they used their fab grants to pay for incentives to people for not using AMD?

 

[humbug]

What ever Intel said didn't stop AMD stock price rising 10% today. AI everywhere and MI300

Yeah i noticed that, apparently it kick's Nvidia's H100's arse....... why can't they do that so convincingly for Graphics GPU's?

 

[humbug]

Software. Drivers and software have always been ATI/AMD's Achilles heel. Now it's too late, as DLSS, Gsync etc have become embedded. People are invested into Nvidia's ecosystem. Much the same that an avid IoS user is too invested in Apple apps/services to ever consider switching to Andriod.

Yeah.... i think you're on to something.
