advantage average base came crawl demands desktop forward particular pcs percent pressure run several soon south start tends windows
If someone came up with a 64-bit desktop application, then AMD would have an advantage. As soon as the application base on PCs demands more than 4GB to run any particular application, that's when you will start to see pressure on the desktop for 64-bit processors. But the average use for a Windows 98 configuration is just south of 128MB, so we still have several years, as that demand tends to crawl forward at around 50 to 100 percent a year.
article clever computer computing faith history industry pc people performance says software somewhere thinking
There are 25 years of PC industry and 40 years of computer industry history that says there is never enough performance. My article in faith is that you will never have enough computing performance for things you want to do. Having said that, there are clever software people somewhere who are thinking of even cleverer things to do.
chip decided dynamite forward larger performance reasons
Tualatin is a dynamite server chip. One of the reasons (Intel) decided not to go forward with the Foster-based Xeon chip was because Tualatin, with its larger cache, had better performance in server environments.

quarter soon trouble
As soon as you let up, even for a quarter or two, you're in trouble.
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.
architecture lose market share survive time
I don't know that Apple's market share can survive another architecture shift. Every time they do this, they lose more customers.
amount months
I would say 18 months is not an unreasonable amount of time.
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.
cases close definitely expectation gap narrow products
My expectation is that Intel's new products are definitely going to narrow the gap with AMD, and in some cases may even close the gap.
number performance rather
Multi-core is the new megahertz. If you want more performance rather than ramping up the megahertz, now it's all about ramping up the number of cores.
address variety
PIC does a lot of different things. It does address a variety of needs.
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.
guy positive wants work
It is a positive for AMD that a guy like Hester wants to work there,
