Giving the competition 3 years----sounds a lot like 3DO on there trip to being absorbed by nvidia...sad news indeed.

What do you mean give it up? I'm just reporting what AMD has reported.
AMD isn't dead. AMD has a good roadmap ahead of them, that can very easily put them right back in the ball game, especially with the recent help AMD has been getting from IBM. Another thing is, you better hope AMD doesn't die, unless you like paying high prices on Intel processors again, because competition from AMD is one of the main reason why Intel has dropped their prices in recent years to heavily compete against AMD. Remember how much the Intel Pentuim 166mhz MMX went for when it was new? That's exactly what would happen again if Intel has no competition. First generation Core 2 Duos would be running in the $300+ dollar range still if it wasn't for compettiton from AMD.

"If I look at the next-generation architecture of our CPU, then it will definitely not be, how can I say, comparable with the Phenom ......
..... It will look completely different. [It will] solve problems that today we think can never be addressed by hardware,” said Giuseppe Amato, technical director of sales and marketing for EMEA region at AMD in an interview with Custom PC web-site."
Good deal DAAMIT!
But if you don't show the goods, then talk is cheap.

They better push it out in 2009. If they delay Bulldoser until 2011 Intel will be way past them. Matter of fact i'd advise AMD to stop production on the current K10 and instead work hard at really trying to get K11 out by next year at this time.

LOL! I was just pushing your buttons. I don't want AMD to die any more than you do. I agree 100% that wouldn't be good for anyone.
I own both an AMD system and an intel system. Surely I would regret not having the option to take advantage of the one that offers the most performance and value to fit my needs.
I have to agree with Sabertooth that talk is cheap and I can only imagine where intel will be by 2011.
