Intel had a buzzy Ultrabook thing going in central CES while AMD had a little bunker in rooms 225-277.
That doesn’t mean AMD is down and out though.
The relationship with GloFo is all down. AMD's famous Series A might come out by the year's end, but it will be the 31st of December if we are lucky. Advanced Micro Devices refused, refused and refused again to give us a date for the Series A chips.
Which might, just might sell quite a few, given a following wind. We are quite frankly amazed at AMD’s ineptitude.
Series A has, on the face of it, quite a delta over Intel because AMD has DirectX11, or at least, that's the line. But the staffers refused to admit the Series A is badly delayed.
As usual, AMD is in chaos mode, while around CES, Intel wins. This must be a decisive and possibly terminal win for the Santa Clata chip giant. But there must be a message for American Free Trade here. As in, competition is good and not only on the graphics chip front.
Completely ourageous, as far as Free Trade goes. America must prosecute Intel and impose the most stinging penalties on a monopoly which punishes, punishes and punishes again any creature which dares to stand up to it.
Of course, AMD has settled. But, the US government should not have allowed this settlement in the right of Free Trade. Then again, what can corporations do about American competitors apart from Borg them?
Heres InSide Scopp, AMD Will Win Thin Ultra Book Via Price, Low Price.
Intel Ain't got rebuke to DAT.

"Completely ourageous, as far as Free Trade goes. America must prosecute Intel and impose the most stinging penalties on a monopoly which punishes, punishes and punishes again any creature which dares to stand up to it."
I utterly second the motion and also propose the penalty
to reach the trillion mark.
I for one beleive we need competition to keep Intel honest but the free market should be the decider of who wins and who loses. AMD has had its time in the sun and then turned back in to the loser it is. Qualcom and others will be there if AMD falters.
Let the free market play it self out, we all have seen how effective government intervention has been in regards to picking winners and losers (Solyndra, GM, etc...)
ARM & Qualcom is a decade away from high performance (having low power is one thing - high performance anther)
Intel has been caught with its pants down many of times, just the punishment wasn't adequate for intel to redeem itself..
