AMD vs Intel

These two strong processor companies AMD and Intel are still battling for its performance, sales and market share since the millennium starts. As we all know for the past few years AMD introduced more innovative chip designs with a lower price which attract big businesses and consumers. But now, Intel is back with a string of quad-core processor releases. This scenario had a big impact on the part of AMD as they announced a $574 million loss last week.

According to Kevin Knox, AMD’s VP (tells Information Week) says “the company is betting that everything will change with the release of AMD's native quad-core processor in midyear. "I'm not going to sit here and tell you it hasn't become more competitive. We're still kicking the bear. They're more competitive today, but we're still winning our share. It will be competitive, yes, for the next several months. Quad-core will be our breakaway.”

Well, I’m hoping the battle will continue. This healthy competition will benefit the consumers for a ‘high-performance’ product at a low cost in the near future.
