Intel was not in the red when they got the IBM contract. The 8080 had two problems which is it required three different voltage levels and an external clock circuit. The Z80 had internal clocking and only needed one voltage level. The 8080's biggest problem was that it couldn't clock very high so performance was limited. <BR/><Scientia from AMDZonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307174874527564058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32351755.post-67214815040894200502007-05-10T06:06:00.000-04:002007-05-10T06:06:00.000-04:00I know this is a little off topic and is already o...I know this is a little off topic and is already old, but with some google search I got this article:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://talkback.zdnet.com/5208-10532-0.html?forumID=1&threadID=15629&messageID=313261&start=-9896" REL="nofollow">Intel is TERRIFIED of AMD</A><BR/><BR/>I don’t know if this story is true since I'm still a little young but it was interesting to read, I don’t know if someone knowAguiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901972653513415336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32351755.post-53311879438721337312007-05-10T05:13:00.000-04:002007-05-10T05:13:00.000-04:00Intel is a full process generation ahead of AMD.Is...<I>Intel is a full process generation ahead of AMD.</I><BR/><BR/>Isn’t everyone too?<BR/>Who besides Intel is already at 65nm and is already planning 45nm production in few months?<BR/><BR/>Besides didn’t AMD have to transact from their 130nm to (IBM) 130nm SOI?

It should say 6 months behind on 45nm and roughly equal at 32nm. I corrected it in the article. <BR/><BR/>Yes, there is no doubt that a 2% loss in volume is bad for AMD since this puts them back to Q3 06 Scientia from AMDZonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307174874527564058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32351755.post-79809805833770298742007-05-09T21:35:00.000-04:002007-05-09T21:35:00.000-04:00Scientia, I must say I'm rather disapointed in the...Scientia, I must say I'm rather disapointed in the tone of this piece. To me it screams that you either agree with me or you are an idiot. It's not the message I would want to send on a blog that invites open discussion. Hopefully, I'm reading more into this than you intended. <BR/><BR/>And for the record I don't think AMD is doomed, but I wouldn't put any money into their stock for a while.InTheKnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16869163385384973596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32351755.post-54401549189904731162007-05-09T17:05:00.000-04:002007-05-09T17:05:00.000-04:00But, I haven't yet seen volume numbers.

The only comment I've seen suggests that AMD's volume drop was only about 1/3rd of the revenue drop </I><BR/>I think AMD might have increased its numbers in mobile space. The decreased revenue figure is to be blamed due to Dell and a weak dollar.

As far as I can tell you can get a good system from HP with either processor for about the same price.
