Intel CFO and Interim CEO Writes an Open Letter on Processor Supply

[cadaveca]

They are not obsiously. If in that graph where 1 million old and forgotten CPUs, AMD would have to sell a few hundred thousand Ryzen CPUs to move that graph that much, through Mindfactoty alone. They would have ended making $30 billions revenue or something like that, this quarter alone.

Then what is that graph showing, exactly?

They don't act of course with emotion when they decide what hardware they will suggest for their corporation, except if they love big unemployment vacations, but the system they have in their home could influence their final decision, even a little.

Well, I love my 1950X, but I wouldn't suggest it for anyone. I also have a system with a 2200G, and THAT... that is a great office desktop option. So you have to ask, is that graph considering pricing market share or volume?

Why is everyone upset? Sounds like a managment problem. Bad forecasting for demand which created all sorts of downstream problems. Happens when bad managers exist.

take your time intel, please no rush. I am very happy with my AMD rig and I don't have to buy a new board on every processor being released for small damn improvement.

How's that Intel's fault ?, fault there is the people who were buying them. Yes the people who kept buying their small ass improvments were the people to blame, maybe some at least have woke up.

One of the reason's i have not upgraded, the other being security.

Sales of CPUs to consumers. Every dot on those lines where probably calculated based on number of processors sold in a specific sort period of time.

Well, I love my 1950X, but I wouldn't suggest it for anyone. I also have a system with a 2200G, and THAT... that is a great office desktop option.

Here you go. From two AMD options you would suggest at least one. 2 years ago you would probably have zero AMD systems or suggest none of those as an option.

So you have to ask, is that graph considering pricing market share or volume?

I broke that paragraph because I can not make the connection between your two systems and this question. English is not my native language so probably there is the problem. But this graph shows only volume of sales from one retailer. 1000 retailers where AMD is winning represent probably, if not certainly, an insignificant market share compared for example to Dell. But those graphs do show a change.

word: Capitalism101

Supply is (supposedly) down + demand is up + little competition = prices stay high, which is what virtually every company on the planet wants for its products, not just intel.....
