AMD Desktop CPUs Most Disappointing Product of 2007

AMD Desktop CPUs One of the Most Disappointing Product of 2007

ZDNet blog calls AMD's desktop processors as one of the most disappointing products of 2007:
For the entirety of 2007 I've held the belief that AMD would come out with something worth buying, but that hope is now gone. I'm not sure what's going on at AMD but progress seems to have slowed down drastically and I'm wondering whether my last Athlon 64 X2 processor will have eroded to dust before I buy another AMD branded processor.
Next to AMD according to the writer Adrian Kingsley-Hughes are NVIDIA's graphics card drivers which I think can be hardly defined as product as well as Blu-ray and HD DVD. Continue reading the full story here.

yeah, i unfortunatly agree, i have stook with intel for the last few years because i believed that they have been ahead with performance and cost (my opinion), what AMD really need to do some time in the very near future is make there own "core 2" style processors and stop just making older CPUs have higher clock speeds and use less power.

I'm actually rather enthusiastic about the phenom. When the bugs are worked out, I do believe they will deliver a very good bang for the buck. I plan on using AMD for my next build...provided said bugs are worked out. The new procs just need to mature, the tech is still too new. Intels "quads" were ripe with confilcting stories of great successes and failures when they first appeared on the scene and now look at them...blazing fast and very reliable...AMD will come through with a little time and some more focused thinking. Although, I DO agree with the gentleman who stated that the spider platform is uneccessary at this time.:shadedshu They should concentrate on producing fast proc's, THEN move onto the platforms.......:wtf:
