AMD or Intel for Compal?

Which one you think is better for Compal platforms, AMD or Intel?

 

intel is better and will always be until amd comes out with something new

 

AMD is much more heat and power efficient, so I figure out that AMD is better for the laptop industry.

 

^Hum no, turion x2 get beaten by c2d of lower frequency, and the c2d runs cooler too... The only reason I'll recommend a turion to anybody now is only because of the price and the fact that they don't have the crappy gma . I doubt that the puma platform will change much to the current situation. I miss the time when a 900mhz amd cpu beat the crap out of a 2ghz intel cpu.

 

Yes, I agree AMD had gotten beaten big deal lately but their heat/power goals have always been their creed (dual core), so I'm not surprise that they will come out of the tunnel with a great new chipset to beat Intel.

 

AMD's problem in today's world is having sufficient capital to pay for the R&D, testing, and production costs.

Then they have to convince laptop ODM's that they are here to play well into the future.

For anyone who was around in early 2000, just after AMD came out with the Athlon desktop processor and were so busy wiping the floor with Intel in the desktop market that they totally abandoned the laptop world, and left the ODM's with thousands upon thousands of shells and motherboards based on AMD processors that they couldn't use because AMD would no longer provide processors to them...well, that was an ugly time that ODMs are reluctant to forget.

In 2006 AMD's stock was trading for over $40...it closed today at under $6.50

 

That will change now that they got a new CIO from DELL, AMD stock will rock the skies soon.

 

amd needs to chanllege intel now. intel's prices for are starting to go high. real high

 

I agree, AMD will also fight Intel in other part of the globe, and reduce cost all across the board. But I'm confident that AMD will come out with a multiple core and will kick AMD's b.

 

i heard that amd is trying to combine the cpu and gpu together

Yes, a very old idea, it will gear the gamers.

 

AMD spent too much for ATI and the CIO from Dell had Dell stock dropping also.

 

hmmmm, 3 months later lol.

AMD is coming with amazing products though that will boost their presence in the laptop market, stay tuned.

 

Intel, they deliver the best at the time and the time is the advance for now.

 

And AMD is coming with new products as well, products combining the CPU with the GPU for example.

 

Yep but the power is still with the add-on VGA graphics, so I bet Intel and Nvidia are creating a strong platform.

 

I find today's CPU's are under used, they are faster than the GPU and it does less stuff, if we combine it with the video card we gonna serious performances.

 

Under used? Without a cpu, you would see a black screen and maybe a beep. You need the cpu for everything, you only need the gpu to display what it's processing onto your screen, and render things if you're gaming.

 

Ahh, I meant is used but not at its maximum potential, in other words, the CPU sometimes is relaxing as the Video card is busy working feeding the display and it does all by itself, it has its own CPU (GPU), memory etc, and its GPU is not a 1 or 2 or 3GHz, is pehaps a 400MHz one, do you understand what I'm saying?

 

I am curious...what is the difference between "either one" and "don't care"?

Don't they mean essentially the same thing?

 

Where did you quote that from, paladin?

 

Look at the Poll choices.
