Re: AMD's top ten options are pretty clear

Why are you suggesting Intel-only tactics to AMD? You must be joking!

1. Hype the Hypertransport some more. It sounds like something pretty neat. Kinda Star Treck-ish.

Just like what Intel had done with HyperThreading.

2. Dust off the integrated mem controller. Clearly, something integrated has gotta be a god thing.

How about Rambus?

3. Refurbishthe the FX-60 nomenclature to , the "FX-60 Extreme Super Hero Plus"

Yeah... we all know the Extreme(ly hot) Edition...

4. Go after the sympathy crowd. Big guy vs little guy. Always a favorite.

For IT products, people actually favor big guys.

5. Crank up the clock and claim Megahertz superiority. Works well in 3rd world countries.

Actually it worked extremely well right in the U.S. for Intel, until AMD woke up those idiots (and Intel).

6. Dust off the 2003 ads that 64 bits is a must.

Itanium WAS a must, sure.

7. Start a campaign against dual core. "You don't need two cores with AMD" - sounds good to me.

And you certainly don't want a better, more closely integrated memory controller.

8. Brand slogan : Our chips are made in Germany. German stuff is pretty good.. reference BMW, etc

Or one can buy from the Jewish Centrino instead.

9. More lawsuits. That should deflect attention and also aid the sympathy option.

Actually... more strong arms to the retails is always a more effective weapon. Afterall, fear is always more powerful than sympathy.

10. Start a " More power to the people" campaign. AMD chips dissipate more power and more is better.

Reminds me the Extreme Edition ... not only power, but $$$ costs more too.


I can tell you that AMD will not consider any of these Intel tactics as options, not becasue they're Intel, but because they're despicable.
