AMD and INTEL combining into one company!

[bubbleflap]

Do you think that INTEL and AMD should combine? Obviously this wouldn't happen, but if it did, would you agree with it and be happy?

[Bigjakkstaffa]

No because sod's law dictates the pricing would stay at Intel levels... and besides, a lil bit of chouce and competition is good...

--Jakk:t

[animeal]

hack no, if that happens! :eek: We would get Intelsoft (Microsoft so to speak, where they control the world!)!
muahahahahah muhahahaha muaaahahaha :x

[AllGamer]

Not in a million years :p

[Logan[TeamX]]

Hamsters! Then we get QuantiHamster architecture!

Think of it... all we need to do is clean the c**p out of the heatsinks once in a while, no need to worry about water-coolers condensing and frying the motherboard, I mean hamster cage!

MUHAHAHAHHAHAH

Yes, I need sleep!

[gibsinep]

It would be a horrible thing if it happened. Intel being like they are wouldn't even use anything from AMD engineers. :rolleyes:

[Aznmask]

If Intel combine with Amd.. wow the cpu price going to rise so high. Cpu so cheap czu AMD & Intel on war.. Think about if there isn't AMD exist and only Intel.. you think the Intel will have 2.8 release??

Or vise verse too my freind. If AMD was the only one and Intel went bust your beloved AMD xp1600+ that is $50 (a great deal by the way) would be like $130 or so easy....;)

[Alex Iannuzzi]

It would be bad for these two companies to combine as there will be no competetion for the more Ghz, they would slowly slowly increase the CPU's Ghz cause they are one company and no competetion. :(

[absalom]

Combining both companies would become a monopoly for the industry prices would skyrocket and we the customers would pay the price. AMD vs Intel equates to competition which in turn give customers faster processors and competitive prices :D

[gibsinep]

Competition is the best thing to lower prices.

i agree being seprate companies is what makes the prices resonable since they are competing for the market

[OpK Chowdy]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AMD is always the #1 choice because of their great prices! Without competition, the price of processors will SKY ROCKET.

[AlexGee]

Thank God for this wonderful competition between the 2 chip powers!! We win.

[animeal]

basically everone is repeating the same thing I said, but in different words! Thats why I mentioned monopoly (no, not the game stupid! :r )! :p

[Cpl_Squirrel]

Yeah, a little rodent power could be a good thing.

[doubleclick]

A third company in the CPU arena would be nice too...

C'MON, CYRIX!!! :t

[Strawbs]

No Way,

Then I would have to start rooting for Via\Cyrix! :eek:

[gibsinep]

Another company that made a chip comparable to the P4 and XP line would be great. Even lower prices, but Cyrix is no were near either of the two. :(

[bushmaster]

Yeah I heard Burger king and Mickey D's are joining to make the McWhopper.

[gibsinep]

lol

[Bigjakkstaffa]

McD's fries and Burger Kings burgers... now there would be a meal worth payin for :D

--Jakk:t

[gibsinep]

No Jack you have it backwards, McDonalds Burgers and Burger King's fries. :D lol

yah i totally agree by the way it is FACT. Like what happen in real world.. if no WW1 & WW2 USA or the country won't be develop in today's technology.. :D

[Bigjakkstaffa]

No Jack you have it backwards, McDonalds Burgers and Burger King's fries.

bah - your taste buds have been corrupted by those orrible McD fries :p

j/k

--Jakk:t

[morpheus kain]

I wish I had about 50billion$. I would buy AMD and pay the engineers to work 15 hour shifts and then I would double the size of the Dresden plant. Then, AMD would OWN!!!

Same here! Burger Kings fries are the best. Not soggy like Mcdonalds.....

[gibsinep]

Aznmask- what are you talking about? :confused:

That is just incorrect.

[animeal]

Shut up u fools! :r Im working at a french fry co. and they make fries for both burger kind and mcds, they are the SAME fries, dont know whats in the oil that these 2 co. put the fries in, but u ALL been corrupted! Suckers! :x muahhahaha :x muahahahaha :x muahahahaha ....................... ok, but seriously, i do work at a french fry factory, where they make Enough fries in one day to probably feed the whole African hungry population. Speaking of which, AMD should donate some comps. to Africa! :rolleyes: Ok, im little off the topic here, neeeeeed sleeeeeeppppppp! Just got of work, back to work in 6 hours!!! :( this is how i feel in the morning after few cups of coffee :x 2 hours later )-|

[Swordfish]

and then we will have no more suing thing...hundred's of chipsets to choose from...we can have bios updates for 850e to support future INTELAMD CPU's...ha what a waste...

btw what would their processors be called then?

perhaps....Penthlon;) :D :t

then what about the 64 bit versions...perhaps Itahammer(that was a bad try...huh);)

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Well at least in Britain Mc D's have got the better fries and BK the better burgers... dunno what its like over there, but over here McD's Burgers taste like cardboard and my mums orrible home made chips taste nicer than BK's fries :eek:

--Jakk:t

[bubbleflap]

What about if amd and intel combined, but there was still strong competition between amdintel and say another company like ibm? Lets forget the prices going up, what I wanted to know was what you think would happen to the quality of the chips :)

-->Bubbleflap

[Jimstep]

That would be monopolistic...won't happen...

[AMD1014]

I dont think they should because amd is my favourite and i hate intel.If they ever did team up i might never buy a computer ever again :eek:

[morpheus kain]

How about AMD releases the Clawhammer, Intel then releases the Prescott a few months later, and then the time gap allows AMD to gain some market and make some $$$ and then the competition from Intel will result in another price war which makes all the enthusiasts quite happy!

[bubbleflap]

AMD IS THE TRUE PROCESSOR GOD. The hamster died serving under AMD. Lets all worship amd, for Hamsters sake.

[morpheus kain]

*Chants*

[gibsinep]

Jimstep- Being America the way it is I highly doubt having it be a monopoly would be the limiting factor. :rolleyes:


( think of all the monoploys in your area. For me there are many.):(

[regrob]

:confused:HAMTEL ????
:x INTHAMD ???

The name alone would be confusing and what would be the foot configuration on the moca mobo,will we need new mobo's or will they be backward compatable ????:D




.....Reg

[Bast]

Hamster sandwiches go down better!

[fryincpus]

Ya never know, Amd could be bought out in a takeover or forced merger.

Just like what happened to compaq/hp.
And after losing money for the past 5 quarters, that can't be good for amd either.
Amd can survive, but it is up to the company itself how to do it.
:r
