Intel’s Internal “AMD Competitive Profile” Memo Revealed- AMD Competing On Perf/Dollar A Huge Risk For Intel, Acknowledges AMD As Formidable Competition
A Challenging Period Ahead For Intel And A Dominating Position For AMD
AMD’s Success Story According To Intel Themselves:
[From closing paragraph] Intel is very reasonable in their assessment on the threats it faces and how it plans to tackle them in years to come. Just like in the past, Intel has overcome the challenges it faced by offering top-tier products and they have a solid foundation in the form of their six pillars (process, architecture, memory, interconnect, security and software). AMD rose from the ashes to once again become a dominant force in the industry and Intel could do the same if we take a look at their past, that’s the beauty of competition!
With release of AMD 7nm products, Intel will have fallen significantly behind in key respects. Recovering leadership will not be easy or soon. Intel is tackling that problem internally with a realistic assessment of the challenge.
As I've noted, the last time AMD got ahead (over a decade ago), Intel cheated by paying key manufacturers "under the table" to not use AMD which nearly put AMD out of business (proved in court). That's one of the reasons I support AMD. Hopefully, the competition will be "above board" this time.
