![]() ![]() ![]() With the release of the Athlon, the upcoming Coppermine release (although I have my doubts about that one), and VIA buying any x86 maker they can lay their hands on, it looks like we'll have a lot more to look forward to in Y2K than some stupid bug. Let's take a look at the 3 conteders:

![]() ![]() ![]() Your original took some effort to read! Try spacing the paragraphs out slightly. (Like this). As for VIA, rumour has it they only bought Cyrix to get around the Intel licensing problems, as they are laying off key Cyrix staff. It'll be a shame if they stop development on the chips though, as the M3 was meant to be Cyrix's challenger to the Athlon, and was apparently shaping up quite well. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() OK then ... Intel: I agree - they HAVE spent too much time trying to compete with AMD by lowering and lowering their prices continually. The fact is that Intel CAN afford to do this as they have the funds from years and years of being on top in the x86/87 market. AMD on the other hand cannot take too many quarters losing $160ish million, which brings us to the Athlon. Previously Intel have always been able to charge higher prices for their top processors because, quite simply they were quicker. This is no longer true, and it is now the turn for Intel to compete on price rather than performance. From what I read they may be giving chips away too. As for VIA and their acquisitions, who knows? With the kinds of designs that they are holding, I dont see them being TOO competitive in either the desktop or business market, I think (like you too) that their best chance is in embedded systems (set top boxes etc). The problem is that they will have to pick either Slot A or Slot 1 to continue past the Super socket 7 stage, and that could be a very important decision. As for the rest. Who knows? IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() All I can say is that if Intel does manage to push AMD out of the picture, the next processor I buy will be an Alpha. I figure that if Intel has no (real) competition, an Alpha 1GHz and a P3 650 will cost about the same ![]() IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() All I know is that it will be VERY hard to push AMD out now, since they've got a sniff of blood in their nostrils they'll go for the throat with the K7. They know they've got a winner, and I think they'll be ruthless using it against Intel. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() I think that AMD will finally become a big player in the market as long as they do the following: 1) They don't price their CPU's $1,000,000 2) They keep their CPU's overclockable 3) They make CPU's that are affordable, heck why not whole systems! 4) AMD doesn't over-hype crap IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Having heard from a reliable source what the Athlon runs at air-cooled in AMD's labs I find myself cackling evilly every time I see an Intel commercial. They have no idea what will hit them. AMD's worst problem will be not being able to produce as many Athlons as they could sell, I hope they'll keep the prices moderate at the lower end of that CPU family. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Well, it would appear that AMD has all sorts of great yields on their Athlons, but Motherboards are having real trouble making it to market. I hope there are some good ones out on October 1st, which is the day I go out to order my Athlon! *droooooooooooool* um...*ahem* sorry. ![]() IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Looks like we lost out on the overclocking of the Athlon. ![]() Unless you happen to be highly skilled and don't mind taking serious risks with your CPU. Well, this is one area where the Athlon has disappointed me. If they start putting that ID crap in our CPU's I just might have to find some other CPU maker to support. AMD needs to remember who kept them in the game and helped them attain the position they are now in. By taking away our ability to overclock they are alienating their best customers. IP: Logged |
