At least he's not just tweeting bible quotes and hoping it works out

Wait... one CEO did that in the past??

the way they fumbled their CPU market share is a generational blunder.

AMD absolutely destroyed them across the board basically

their PC CPUs are fine, the issue is they dont have ARM, they dont have good GPUs, their AI offerings are meager, they're getting their ass kicked on server... the only thing they're sort of ok in is PC CPU but that is like being the best horse and buggy manufacturer in 1900. It's not where computing is going.

I think he is talking about Gelsinger.

the CPUs are fine, but AMD basically outplayed them while they were stagnant for multiple years.

now Intel is seen as a stability risk, as slower than AMD and as less efficient.

this then begs the question, why buy Intel? and that's the issue they're currently in. there's no good reason to buy an Intel board/cpu over an AMD one. for a while it was the other way around... and then Zen3 happened.

I dunno. I've been buying AMD since Zen 1 came out, even though Zen 1 wasnt as good as Intel's at the time.

But a lot of people still buy Intel.

my first AMD CPU was a Zen1+, and I only got it because it was cheap basically. back then they were still behind Intel in performance. Zen 2 caught up, and Zen3 overtook them for a while. and now they are basically chasing AMD ever since.

I think Intel is only really used by people who either got a good deal, or who buy prebuild PCs.
I doubt anyone who wants to built their own PC and is looking for good performance would choose intel.

whole just 5 years ago I think these positions were entirely flipped around

 

[Chiggs]

Intel will never be the same. They fucked up too hard and now the world is passing them by.

If you're tempted to buy Intel stock, just don't. It's fool's gold, plain and simple.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I still buy Intel out of habit but I'll likely get something else when I upgrade again. Is AMD the best option these days?

Intel still doesn't have their answer to AMDs X3D.

 

[Rentahamster]

That's what happens when you're at the top of your game and instead of engineering better products to keep their top spot they doubled down on stupid marketing tactics that made more money in the short term but set them up for failure in the long term.

Check Pat Gelsinger's twitter history while he was CEO

 

[Durin]

I've used intel CPUs for a while, and AMD only dabbled with at certain times. If I was building a new computer today though, easily would be an AMD CPU, and likely an AMD GPU if I wanted the best bang for buck mid-tier option.

 

[Trogdor1123]

If amd can come back from where they were, intel can too.
