AMD: “Go for it!”

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Mixed feelings about this as someone with a relatively (per my portfolio) huge investment in Intel. It would result, eventually, in the end of Intel. But so many dumb people with so much money keep throwing money at his crap companies so it might work out in the short term to get out with a profit.

Youre going to short it?

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 15 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

I was about to get extremely upset, and then I remembered I haven't used intel since 2012.

Does that include Wi-Fi or cellular modems or any of the other shit they make, or just x86 CPUs?

This is still extremely bad for the industry, regardless of whether you personally use it.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I have a 13700K that's growing increasingly unstable due to their fuckup on voltage control. Never again. My next rebuild will be AMD.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

havent built a new PC since 2019 but when I did, I specifically picked AMD because of the Specter problem that existed at the time. havent looked back since.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

oh, I agree.

Who wants to get in bed with Elon so he drives the brand into the ground? How much has Fidelity written down their investment in Twitter, 80%?

[–] pozzy77@lemmy.world 50 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They have to old slogan of intel inside ready to be rebranded as incel inside

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 35 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I appreciate him doing this after intel lost their magic, otherwise, it would have been much harder emotionally.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

They lost it in CPUs, but I think they're actually nailing it in GPUs though (for once(at least for the budget/entry level))

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They have what, 2 models? And in the GPU market, they aren't even a pimple on the fly on the ass of nVidia or AMD

[–] Peffse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I've personally seen on at least 5 different Intel models on store shelves. The A380, A580 and the A750. Now the B580 and B570. The A380 stuck around but the others sold out fast from what I saw.

And though they aren't nearly as large as the two giants, they seem to be aiming for and pleasing the under-served sub-$250 market. Though I wish they'd publish more official numbers. A 6 day slice from a retailer isn't a great view on trends.

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Eh unless they have the most efficient overall, they won’t make inroads into the server market. The entry level laptop and desktop markets are getting smaller and has less margins.

[–] Peffse@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

Do you mean the efficiency question? I’m just deducing if they were competitive in servers Intel would jump at that opportunity.

As for the PC market, just looking at unit sales: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share_of_personal_computer_vendors

And as for margins, well the exact information is a bit hard to find but in general lower end products have tighter margins and the buyers for them are more price sensitive.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 44 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't he busy enough buying the United States right now?

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 27 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I thought that was bought and paid for already.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 16 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's more of an ongoing project.

[–] ralakus@lemmy.world 1 points 55 minutes ago

He went with the subscription based license instead of the full purchase

[–] GhostlyPixel@lemmy.world 41 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He’s going to rename the i series to something ridiculous like i69, i420, i1337, and iX isn’t he?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 33 points 7 hours ago

The new Incel X series

[–] psud@aussie.zone 47 points 9 hours ago

That would be good news for AMD

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 66 points 10 hours ago

Right, because Intel needs MORE problems.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 88 points 11 hours ago (13 children)

That's one way to finally kill x86.

You don't need to buy an entire company to control or profit from it... He's really that dumb isn't he. He could do the whole Black Rock thing and control every company in the world, instead he has this idea of just owning everything.

I'm starting to suspect the price speculation of things he owns is by his own hand, nothing to do with the market whatsoever.

This was always the inevitable outcome of capitalism. Just some rich lying dipshit buying the world.
