Been using AMD for 15 years and never looked back.
A great quote from years ago:
"Anyone who knows anything about computers uses AMD everyone else uses Intel."
When you quote something that you consider great, would be nice to cite the source aswell.
Anyhow, the quote should be "Anyone who is willing to spend hours of his free time fiddling, waiting for driver bugfixes and tuning his computer uses AMD..."
There is a reason people choose the easy way and pay up for it.
Another issue is the german economy finally crashing into a wall created by them. That is good news to everyone in Europe.
Maybe you overestimate the influx of AMD onto the german economy?
If AMD dies or lives is absolutely no matter for the economy - it matters for the customers bcs the prices will rise while the technical development will halt.
AMD brought the 64 Bit to the PC - it was not Intel!
AMD brought the integrated memory controller to the PCs - it was not Intel!
AMD brought Multicores to the PC - it was not Intel!
Intel is the static giant that only moves if the whip AMD tortures it hard enough to move eventually.
It will be lead to a market failure of titanic dimensions if AMD stops to compete in the x86 business.
I was afraid of that. And this is where the Government comes into play hopefuly with regulations and fair business practices. If intel wants to be obscene and charge a lot more for their processors they will have a hard time doing so if they are regulated, this can not be a monopoly division that beats the crap out of consumers because they are the only dog in town. This will not fair well for them, we remember the Microsoft debacle. Let us hope Intel keeps the trust with the consumers and doesn't start shady sales practices. Nothing like going back to the mid late 90's and paying $1800 per processor.
Might I add intel had 80% of the cpu market sales in 2011............AMD needed there new cpu's to do well and basically they couldn't even do that with a large leap forward. I remember them being king of the hill 939 era.
there bulldozer problem didnt help they need to redo them. then let people send them in for a trade or something

I'm sorry you had bad luck with AMD. But I honstly don't know what your're talking about. I have used AMD for 15 years at least - last intel chip I used was a P100. I have never had any issues with AMD.
I only had a choice of AMD as the CPU, but I always calculate it as an option. As for the ATI / AMD and Nvidia, and I went to Nvidia's 2 times the day before 2005, I did not impress did not see my screen color is vibrant.
i used to run intel....that was untill 3 processors in a row crashed and burned on me! switched to a AMD process and i have been running it since. Now AMD is the only thing i buy! As for Nvidia and AMD...
I used to be a hardcore NVIDIA guy...had a 9800 GTX a while back ran ok but coudnt even play wow on full graphics so i bought a zotac Geforce 570 GTX....worst card ever! slow and unstable....sold it for 100 bucks and bought a radeon 5770! BEST video card i have ever owned! i have yet to find a game i cant run on ultra setting....
Now every computer i build i put amd in and ati...

Been seeing this noted a couple times. There is a Digital Vibrancy option in the nVidia drivers if you want the colors to pop more, I'm pretty sure it's on by default these days to the point that it's more vibrant than ATI. Digital Vibrancy is basically just bumped up color saturation though which there is a slider for in both ATI/nVidia drivers. ~115 is pretty nice on ATI.

I fly the AMD flag proudly.
I have had the opposite experience.

intel can bend over and take it up the tailpipe!
