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.
behind certainly changes fred good hard precisely relationship technology turned
He had a pretty good relationship with Dirk Meyer (AMD's No. 2 exec). It is hard to say who precisely was behind the (Athlon 64) development, but Fred certainly was a big contributor. Most of the technology changes that AMD has made while he was there turned out to be good ones.
challenge forward intel release saying superior technology unlikely
It's very unlikely that Intel would win, ... But once Intel does release that chip, AMD will have the challenge going forward of demonstrating that its dual-core technology is superior to that of Intel, while Intel will be saying to its customers, 'If you want a dual-core processor, we've got it.'
digital technology watch
The digital watch was actually the first important application of CMOS technology.
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.
