| Semi-Agreed, but not really up until Athlon. Sure things like the K6, for example, were faster in some places, but half the battle is perception. The Althon did so well because it kicked Intel's ass in all areas and people took notice. As a result the Opteron did well.
The point being is that AMD is in a deep hole because it has lost crediablity. As such, Price / Performance won't save them now. The mainstream chip needs to be better and cheaper for them to regain their momentum. Flag this | Edit this post |

| The equation is easy
Mainstream processor just as fast as Intel at 15% the price = victory.
Trying this price / performance ratio crap doesn't work when your mainstream processors look bad next to the competition.
The Q6600 single handily decimated AMD. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Heh, in all of the legal proceedings, there is no ruling that bars Rambus from demanding royalties for GDDR2. So of course they are going to test that.
Also the FTC's anti-competitive ruling (which was itself a reversal) against Rambus was overturned in April... which will probably fuel another round of lawsuits.
Personally, after seeing all the crap the other memory makers pulled on Rambus (that resulted in 100s of millions in anti-competivie fines) I'm rooting for Rambus now. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I am impressed. The graphics have alot of atmosphere to them, and when everything is in motion it looks very good.
Additionally, look at the number of creatures on the screen in the gaeplay videos and everything remained smooth. Too me, this is important considering the series' gameplay.
I guess I would sum it up as D3 models not having uber graphical detail, but the animation is good, and the number of models on the screen at once leads to a quantative overall high quality. Flag this | Edit this post |

| They are realizing that cheaper phones with expensive data plans = more overall money.
I am betting that they are taking a % of the carriers data plan fee, otherwise why the hell would they lower the price? They can't be making much margin on them at 200ish. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Just in case you didn't know.
Sharon Stone has an IQ far exceeding the average person. 150ish.
Undoubtedly she is not a true believer in the traditional sense of karma, but is instead trying to motivate the real numbskulls (the general public) to action Flag this | Edit this post |
