4 Hi.
5
6 AMD has had better engineers than Intel all the time. Intel just had the money.
7 A few years ago the CIO from Intel advised engineers to be more creative. So AMD
8 will stay ahead of the pack and if they find the right way (actually they're
9 going the right way -> open specifications) the competition is going on.
10 I hope that nVidia won't acquire AMD.
11 In fact atm. there is no measurable performance difference weather in IU nor in
12 FPU operations, however AMD has a better performance/price.
13 In HPCs AMD beats Intel because they don't use obsolete FSB. I am looking
14 forward to the new CPU architecture where GPU and CPU find together.
15
16 I am using Intel technology because chipset, wlan, bluetooth and so on are
17 working great together, although there is no HypterTransport. Intel is going to
18 follow AMD because they have the money.
