Chip war is OVER: WHo won?

A few months ago, there was an explosion of interest in the Chip war between AMD and Intel, if we could recall, AMD had the dominance over the Processor Market when they introduced killer Dual-Core Chips that are made to serve the gaming niche in the market. But AMD's dominance crumbled when INtel fought back and introduced their "Core" product line, Intel was able to produce a killer Chip that is about 40% faster that it's rival. AMD then tried to regain the market by purchasing ATI, a video card maker, and introduced the idea of having an integrated CPU-GPU structure for more efficient data processing.

But, what has happened to that war? Is it over? my opinion?

Well, I would say it's all over, but AMD is hit quite hard by the counter attack of INtel. right now, i think even if AMD pulls its prices down it will not give them the market back. I mean, AMD chips are good, but right now, COre-DUOs and Core 2 DUos are the standard in most computer makers sites.

I have used a Core 2 DUO system and it has impressed me so much, I have never felt so much power in a computer and it runs cooler too.

what AMD should so is to make a much better Chip, think out of the box and develop a replacement technology... AMD needs to think 10 steps ahead of Intel, If intel could LEAP AHEAD... then AMD needs to RUN Ahead of Intel.

We have not seen the last of AMD, I believe that AMD could still survive this wrath from Intel if they only listen to what the market craves. I don't really know what the heck that means but the main focus should be to be able to cater to the needs of your clientèle... that's the  Business 101. AMD was able to do it once, why not try it again?

Bottom line, Intel won this round fair and square, but this bout still has a long way to go.
