Huh, pa dosta toga kaj ti pridodaješ Intelu kao "prvi je imao", je zapravo došlo od strane AMD-a, čak i dan-danas svi ovi problematični Raptor Lake modeli su direktan odgovor i posljedica na poprilčno uspješnu AMD Zen arhitekturu koja je nastala u vrijeme nikad jačeg Intela. Najgori AMD-ov proizvod je Bulldozer, a čak i to smeće od arhitekture se još uvijek veselo vrti u ondašnjim procesorima, a pitanje je da li bude za 10 godina LGA-1700 platforma imala kakav preživjeli primjerak.

AMD je prije skoro 20 godina umalo totalno bankrotiral, ali su se uspjeli vratiti s ruba propasti, dok sad slična situacija ima svoj konkretni rasplet u Intelu, a obzirom da su puno veća firma, te da su više od desetljeća bili bez konkurencije - efeket i udarac je samim time puno jači, ali nema brige država bude ih spasila, tj. već rade na tome. Nevezano, ukoliko se danas kupuje Intel i nema labavo, onda bar nek kupi ovo kaj sad stiže za koji tjedan, jer na taj način ima skroz novu platformu, pa čak i ako nešto pođe po krivu kasnije, lakše bude to reklamiral i zamijenil, nego ovo s čim se Intel već sad nije u stanju nositi.

The rise, fall and revival of AMD + AMD's 50th anniversary reminds us why the company matters

Citiraj:

AMD was not only fighting Intel's chips, but also the company's monopolistic activities, which included paying OEMs large sums of money – billions in total – to actively keep AMD CPUs out of new computers. In the first quarter of 2007, Intel paid Dell $723 million to remain the sole provider of its processors and chipsets – accounting for 76% of the company's total operating income of $949 million. AMD would later win a $1.25 billion settlement in the matter, surprisingly low on the surface, but probably exacerbated by the fact that at the time of Intel's shenanigans, AMD itself couldn't actually supply enough CPUs to its existing customers.

Not that Intel needed to do any of this. Unlike AMD, they had rigid long-term goal setting, as well as greater product and IP diversity. They also had cash reserves like no one else: by the end of the first decade in the new millenium, Intel was pulling in over $40 billion in revenue and $15 billion in operating income. This provided huge budgets for marketing, research and software development, as well as foundries uniquely tailored to its own products and timetable. Those factors alone ensured AMD struggled for market share.

In the more modern area, AMD was responsible for three big firsts: the first x86-based 64-bit processor, the first x86 dual-core processor, and the first native quad-core x86 server processor. Most software, including Windows, still refers to its 64-bit variant as “amd64.
