War for Visual Computing: Why AMD Could Have the Best Chance

[news 28]

The past week has been rampant with discussion on the new war that is

brewing between NVIDIA and Intel but there was one big player left out of

the story: AMD. It would seem that both sides seem to have written this

competitor out but we think quite the opposite. Yes the company is having

financial difficulties that many have used as bait for a potential takeover

or buy out, but I am going to spend this time to discuss why I think both

Intel and NVIDIA are overlooking a still-competitive opponent which could

turn out to be a drastic mistake.

Quote: "Of the three companies in this debate today, Intel, AMD and NVIDIA,

only one is balanced in the vision that both NVIDIA and Intel supposedly see

for the industry. AMD has both a CPU and GPU that are competitive in

today's market; not leaders in any definitive way but right up there none

the less. Thanks to the acquisition of ATI by AMD nearly two years ago the

combined organization seems poised to capitalize on the shifting dynamics in

the designs of both processing dynamics. And much of what Intel and NVIDIA

are doing today is actually vali[censored] what AMD has done over the past 24

months."

 

Thanks for a post!
