Intel owned them with c2d and nvidia with the only dx10 card in town, while amd just hybernated for too long I say

I seriously hope not. Intel + nVidia monopoly would result in higher prices and slower technology improvements. Consumers benefit from the competition.

Well I never liked the idea of AMD and ATi joining. AMD needs to get something new and something cheap, like the days of the Athlon XP.

i agree with kills, the best past of amd was that you could get a chip for cheap and CLock it to your hearts Desire.

Not to mention spanking intel systems much to the Dismay of the intel funboys

Now "mid range" Proc's are hovering $300+ on eather side and its shit to say the least.

Intel beat them down with the Core 2 Duo proc line. AMD just didn't step up to the plate in the dual core market.

Codenamed ‘Barcelona’, AMD has claimed that the new processors, based on SPECcpu2006 benchmarks, will command a 50 per cent advantage in floating point performance and 20 per cent integer performance over Intel’s fastest quad-core offering. AMD’s first quad-core chips are due this summer.
