Where is the innovation?

I have mad love and respect for AMD, the first computer I ever built was AMD powered, and rocked the K7. Let’s face it, I wouldn’t have been able to afford to build my own computer at age 14 if it weren’t for AMD, they undercut Intel right and left in pricing, they were the processors for the little guy. But I have to stop and ask them, what happened? Sure, your prices are still lower… but so are your clock speeds, so are your benchmark scores!

You’re just finally getting around to releasing a quad core processor, umm… hello? Intel did that eons ago. I don’t mean to rag on you guys, but seriously, you’re letting me down. Buying ATI was a smooth move, but in the long term it only made you a slightly more annoying thorn in Intel’s side. Blogging Stocks thinks Intel is prepping to crush you like a steroid crazed football player crushes his Mt. Dew can after winning the big game. Your performance lacking and battery draining mobile chip sets still make me cry, the desktop platform looks like you’re only hope, don’t let me down.

And then you went and dumped how much in to Transmeta? 7.5 mil? And you’re hoping to get what out of this? Bottom line, I like you AMD, but there’s a reason why I own Intel stock.
