AMD throws some mud at Intel!

I cam across this today, Seems AMD has leanred at few tricks from SEGA\'s mearketing team. Aprrently they have been giving these things out to people.

Introducing the [/COLOR] Prescott Survival KIT













My fav!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Your own personal USB FAN.



I almost pissed my pants at this one.

lol.  Quite amusing.

AMD hurting that bad?

talk about irony

What are you smoking mm, it\'s called marketing. AMD is not hurting, there taking advantage of the current situation. Afterall they are producing the best cpu\'s right now, and are ahead of the game, while intel is still stuck on there shitty flawed 4 year old net-burst architechure.

Fact is, Intel is scrambling out of desperation to copy AMD\'s plans, roadmaps and product lines. Why do you think that is?  Intel said 64 bit wasn\'t viable for almost the next decade, and yet they are rushing to copy x86-64.  They are scrambling to rush dual core out before AMD,they are copying AMD\'s PR numbering scheme. Intel has also scrapped numerous processor designs recently to concentrate on copying AMD. Heck! Microsoft even said that Intels 64 bit plans were inferior to AMD.
 
So now AMD is already producing 90nm samples and are well on their way to producing dual core chips.

Nothing wrong with AMD kicking INTEL when they are down, I truly believe Intel needs to have the living shit kicked out of them so that hopefully the big Monopoly is forced to start designing chips that are innovative and more geared towards giving the consumer the best bank for buck performance/pushing the ladder. Remember if monopoly\'s lack any competition, then we the consumer get the big screw. Intel had gotten lazy during the Pentium 1,2, era cause AMD at that time posed little threat to them. So in retrospect everyone should be happy that AMD is at the top of there game.

This firzt aide kit PROOVES that AMD is betar than SHITEL!!

I love creative marketing!!!!!!!!!!!!

intel, down?

i miss something?

the company i work for has some 2000+ computers between 7 sites and guess what, not a single amd chip in the house.

this is one company

facts me thinks......

Keyword "Company"  
Intel = business mainstream. Amd = Gaming.

but amd do need better marketing.  I haven\'t seen 1 amd ad.

While I love Amd and think shit of intel.

Intel seems to overshadow Amd everytime. I guess because more business use Intel that is why they are so huge.

but amd do need better marketing. I haven\'t seen 1 amd ad.

I know, us AMD users have been stunned that in the past 5 years Not one AMD TV ad???

Then again Intel has got the molla to advertise. Interesting while AMD has decided to spend most there money on R&D Intel likes to spend more of there\'s for TV ad\'s etc...

Maybe that\'s why AMD makes better chips than Intel, who knows.

the company i work for has some 2000+ computers between 7 sites and guess what, not a single amd chip in the house

What is your point other than INTEL being a Monopoly which we already have established? Are you trying to say because more people have INTEL it\'s a better chip?


So by mm\'s analogy since 90% of computer users have a M$ windows operating system, Windows must be the best OS out there??????????????

MM you know why most business use Intel chips,

#1 Intel has the established name and reputaton since it was one of the first to dominate the market 20 years ago. So just becuase Ford was a good car back in the 50-60\'s does not mean it\'s of the same calibur today.

#2 Most people(which are the mainstream) are ingnorant, and have no clue what AMD even is, and if they do, for some reason there under the impression the the Intel chip is faster becaue of the whole scaling of MHZ confusing

#3 Intel has exclusive deals with many of the big PC manufactures like DELL for example. So allot of people are unknowingly forced into INTEL brand name, not even realizing there is a choice.

#4-10 etc.....


Simply put, you can\'t deny that AMD is a solid chip manufacturer that is going to give Intel one hell of a ride. They have out smart Intel through better more productive engineering. While Intel has the money they forget the brains which was responsible for creating the foundation which made them the big Chip giant they are today.

Don\'t care about marketing, I\'ll buy whatever encodes videos faster at the pricepoint I need.  There seem to be a lot of people out there that think if it\'s great for videogames then it\'s the end all, be all solution.

The gamer AMD kids eat this marketing up (even though they can\'t afford the latest 64-bit chips).  Most people don\'t give a crap.  If Intel came out with such a kit I\'d roll my eyes instead of going YEAAAAA!!!  !INT3L PWNZ0RZ!

There seem to be a lot of people out there that think if it\'s great for videogames then it\'s the end all, be all solution.

If you are refering to the AMD chip there processors perform better with the majority of major software applications. There is little to no benefit using Intel for 3D Animation anymore. The majority of the major apps run better on AMD. spec.org has a whole suite of Maya related tests that have Opteron and FX spanking the living daylights out of Intel.

3D Studio Max is no longer better suited for Intel processors anymore either. The latest AMD chips win there as well.
Even cinema 4D, long an Intel favored benchmark tips to AMD. 3 out of the 4 major cinebench tests favor AMD.

Also----

MPEG encoding has tipped in favor of AMD processors.

DiVX encoding now favors or is so close within the range of error that Intel is no longer a clear winner

Audio applications like Digidesign, Steinburg, Samplitude and others now favor AMD processors.

Most games favor AMD.

Non Linear editing systems perfer AMD.

Compositing apps like Digital Fusion, After Effects, Combustion, Nuke, and others perform better on AMD processors.

Scientific applications favor AMD.

In fact, with the exception of a few synthetic benchmarks, that have little real bearing on real world performance, most applications are within a plus or minus range that would be considered equal or better than Intel.

As mm would say: [SIZE=10] AMD[/SIZE] > Intel

Break out some benchmarks, talk is cheap here.

P4 3.0C = $200
Athlon 64 3800+ = $700

The Tom\'s Hardware benches show even more video benchmarks but since I should NEVER NEVER NEVER talk about TH then we\'ll leave it at that.
