Rich, Rich. Rich, Rich, Re: "With an investment like this, from a company like IBM, AMD is sure to take a bite out of Intel, possibly even toppling them," analyst Tom Kurlack said of the deal."
This freaking article can't even spell K U R L A K's NAME right and we have to see it in here?
AMD might topple Intel? Oh yeah right, like Albania, or Ethiopa might topple the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this is really a quote from K U R L A K, he has totally gone off the deep end. Why doesn't Merril Lynch put him out to pasture, or out of his ******* misery. I put some posts in here recently about semiconductor reliability, which I've always had to be very sensitive to all of my career, and in which field I've had the privilege of working with the two or three top specialists in the field. To make a long story short, you don't purchase chips of any sort from a company which is experiencing yield problems currently, or in the recent past. That would include AMD right now. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE AN AMD CHIP FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR AFTER IT APPEARS THAT THEY HAVE CLEARED UP A YIELD PROBLEM.. That is the rule of thumb in the computer industry, although, if you have a vendor that never has a problem (guess who?), you never switch, ala the most successful PC company right now, Dell. |
