| VanceIX said: I'm speaking of GPUs, not CPUs. Intel has AMD beat soundly in the CPU department. I meant price to performance (what I get for posting after just 4 hours of sleep >_>), and in general AMD's high end cards are much cheaper than Nvidea while offering similar perfmoance benefits. And yes, Qualcomm does't manufacture chips in house, don't know why I mentioned them (once again, I'm completely out of it right now), but it doesn't change the fact that very few companies can afford to run such plants. |
CPU's do matter for AMD since their selling it at a loss ...
It's true that AMD's high end part have been cheaper to produce but that's only because they designed their GPU's to be more performance/die area oriented to be able to achieve that target but now with AMD ever since they dropped VLIW it's become really hard to do that since they have to be more competitive on the feature set front against Nvidia.
