Now the mix of people at AMD right now with ATi is simply amazing right now.
They do have ideas rolling, and people do not see those ideas.
Remember when you used to see INQ post ATi stuff everyday......that has now stopped for the most. Wonder why????....
AMD is hurting, but ATi is not(and are because they are with AMD). They have kept them apart for different reasons.
If they had the cash that Intel has.........
I know they are working with one another on ideas. They all go to trade shows together.....
Friends share ideas. I don't even have to know them to know that. Just look at us and what we talk about.
They are also the bunch that went through that fun stage. ATi has not backed down, and AMD has not either. What they have now may suck, but you need to look at where they are going, not where they are now.
Just look at all the low low watt CPUs from AMD. Companies loves that 1000 machines running under the electric of a light bulb hell yea. BIG$$$ savings.
When AMD Quad gets ready to really roll, and it will. Just look at the HD2900XT. And the 4870 same damn card, but unlike N they are improving it, and tweaking it. The next big cards are going to be shockers.
Everyone likes to say that AMD is scared, and I don't think that is the case. Even tho I have not talked to them in a long time. They are being competitive in the market on stock clocks. They know that people love to OC.
Just look at all the black CPUs they have out. They are catering to the people that OC just for fun in a cheap price. Intel you have to pay to play that way.
To have a unlinked-memory motherboard is $$$$$$ so to do that with Intel is going to cost.
What I see is in the end of 2009/These quads were a bad mojo headache from what I heard on making them/ They are also under NDA so do not say what they can or can not do. They can say just wait, and look you in the eye.
Intel does not have this, nor does Nvidia.
You make high-end GPU for PC console and more. You make High-end CPU, AND with chipsets.
You can't tell me someone has not thought of hey lets make all this work together........
I point to the Dragon that they are talking about. HUGE increase in speed.
AM3(then the +
