Will Intel Kill AMD?

August 26, 1999 7:35 AM

An interesting article over at ZDNetUK asking the question "Will Intel kill AMD?" basically taking a look at the huge price cuts Intel is taking on their P3 chips in reaction to the release of the AMD Athlon CPU. AMD has one advantage though, their chip is faster. Thanks Rico Suave. (He's back!)

AMD has already concededthat it must respond to Intel's cuts. This follows AMD chairman W. J. Sanders' acceptance last month that Intel's stranglehold on the low-end chip market -- initially through its cut-price Celeron line, and now through the cut-price PII and PIII chips -- was having a "devastating effect" on AMD's business.

Athlon is gonna rock, but AMD might still go under just because they wont be able to make any money off of it. Fuckin Intel.

Intel = smart though. I gotta give them credit. Jerks.
