benefits increasing intel original performance quite theory work
The original theory was Netburst would show increasing performance benefits with increasing frequency. It didn't work quite the way Intel had anticipated.
based december forecast four intel mid quarter shock slam weeks
Based on what Intel said in December in their mid quarter update, they should know what's going on, so it's a real shock when they can't forecast four weeks in advance. That should be a slam dunk.
intel last performance
I think they're getting back on track. The performance benchmarks that they demonstrated, these are all of the things Intel couldn't do last year.
against capable competitor intel modicum success
Napa will make Intel a more capable competitor against AMD's products. AMD is having a modicum of success in mobile.
changed compete intel market permanent technology viewed
I think the market has changed in a permanent way from ... 2000, when AMD was viewed as a second-tier supplier who didn't have the technology to compete with Intel at all levels.
chips desktop distance intel trying
What Intel is trying to do is put some distance between multiprocessor configurations, which will be Xeon-based, and Pentium 4 chips for the desktop and low-end workstation environments,
bit couple dollars gain gotten half intel last millions quarters sales second situation taking until worse
The situation has gotten a bit worse over the last couple of quarters for Intel. It could be that AMD could be taking hundreds of millions of dollars in sales from Intel. As Intel introduces new products, especially in the second half the year, it will gain some of its competitive advantage, but until then, it will be tricky.
absurdly apple bet crazy ibm intel paying pays sure whatever
I don't know how much Apple pays for that IBM chip, but you can bet it's absurdly low. Apple has this crazy idea that it shouldn't have to pay as much as everyone else. And whatever it's paying for the IBM chip, I'm sure it's paying more for the Intel chip.
assume designed intel provide wants
Intel wants to get them out in a hurry. I would assume they have a longer-term plan, probably around 45-nanometer technology, to provide a more comprehensively designed quad-core.
intel kicked music seems steve
Intel seems to have kicked the megahertz habit. It's probably music to Steve Jobs' ears.
basic both intel near parity performance terms trailing
Intel is trailing both in terms of basic performance and performance per watt. I think by the end of the year, they can be at near parity with AMD.
act competitor deal due factors intel internal problem space
Intel has never really had to deal with a competitor in the x86 space that had its act together. But how much of the problem is due to AMD's competitiveness, and how much is due to internal factors like chipsets and inventories?
ahead bragging gets intel
Intel gets some bragging right here: we do something ahead of AMD for a change.
box forcing intel looking people perform point purely superior view whether
That, of course, is the 64-bit question. Whether the AMD box can perform like IA-64 on Itanium. If the AMD box can do it, we'd be looking from a purely architectural point of view at a superior solution, because Intel is forcing people to make a compromise.
