Tom's Hardware bought by Intel?! tomshardware.de It's in German but I'm sure it will appear shortly on the English site as well: "This market situation leads to an erroneous belief, which is even more supported by regular discussions among PC enthusiasts: That AMD processors have the best price performance ratio and are the only choice for a new PC system. However, reality is completely different: Thanks to Intels aggressive policy to subsidize the Pentium 4 it is getting more and more attractive. Even more: The Pentium 4 has currently the best price performance ratio, particularly because it's even cheaper than a comparable Athlon. Those who doesn't believe that, should have a look at the pricelists from Intel and its distributors: An Intel 1.3 GHz Pentium 4 with 128 MB Rambus memory and a CPU cooler costs about 544 Mark while an 1.2 GHz Athlon with 128 MB SDRAM memory costs about 600 Mark." [...] "A bundle with a 1.3 GHz Pentium 4, 128 MB Rambus memory and CPU cooler is cheaper than an 1.2 GHZ Athlon with 128 MB DDR memory and CPU cooler. If we look at the price list from Intel, it reveals even more: In the coming weeks and months Intel will gain market share and the sales of AMD systems will fall back. If AMD will counter this trend with its own price reductions this will have a very negative effect on their next quarter's earnings. And this could influence the shareholders to sell their shares which are currently trading anyway near their lows. The golden era for AMD is gone." Note that this article is not from Tom himself but someone called Frank Völkel. I didn't quote everything but the rest is even worse. Probably the most biased article I ever read. Even worse than Sharky. Andreas
