      @zuphzuph said in AMD, trying to mount a comeback.:

      They've been playing catch up for far too long for me to care anymore. I'm a lifer for Intel/Nvidia products sorry L0S3R!

      One could say the same thing about Intel. Intel was playing catchup for just as long, just before AMD started playing catchup.

        @scottalanmiller Yeah, I've only been in the game for about 13 years. I just recall heat issues back then and failures let and right. They're much more advanced from a market standpoint currently but I still see things like the infamous cursor glitch that make me steer clear of AMD and ATI products... Intel just makes more sense to me, it's what I grew up building with and tinkering with speeds on.

          Are you talking about desktop products? AMD were the cool running ones, not the hot ones, in the 64bit era.

            @scottalanmiller Yes I'm talking desktop hardware, CPUs specifically. It could've been my own fault though. I was only 12-13 at the time but I recall my first build which was an AMD chip. I guess I'm just tainted...

              Though competition is good for everyone in the end. Keep the prices low and competitive.

                Way more important: It drives innovation.

                  The server space really was almost purely AMD there for a long time, in the same way that Intel dominates today, AMD did even more back then. Intel had no offerings at all for a while.

                    wow 32cores that's going to be expensive for licensing when everyone starts doing it based on cores not cpu's 🙂 Like Microsoft SQL and Datacentre

                      I don't ever want to touch something based on the number of cores it runs on ever again. Such a pain.

                        Only a few places do that, most are not based around cores. Most enterprise OSes don't need licensing at all. Remember that even 32 cores is tiny for big iron where they are way past these numbers long ago.

                          Oh, I'm reliving memories from 1997-2002 here, and the licensing associated with IDEAS, CATIA, and Pro-E. Most of those didn't have per-core licensing, but I remember one did. Just thinking about all the licensing servers in use at that place can cause me to have convulsions.
