So the journalists are still covering for Intel to this day 15 years later, but the enthusiasts know the truth?
I’m still not saying you’re wrong but you have to admit it’s kinda strange a quick Google doesn’t reveal anything?
So considering Intel used illegal means to keep AMD out, and was fined a billion dollars for it. You think they didn’t touch gray areas in their marketing too? You seem to have no knowledge of what went on in IT in the 90’s, and be very naive, or maybe just a shill or a troll.
What in “Not that I think Intel wouldn’t cheat, because they’ve showed what they’re “capable of” time after time…” was unclear for you? Your conclusion from the above statement is that I’m probably a shill or just doesn’t know IT as good as you because I don’t agree with you on the spot? Really? Is that what you using your full mental capacity was able to conclude from my statement?
Let me just clear up it a little for you: The issue isn’t that Intel was (is) an asshole, it’s that you blurb out unsubstantiated claims and when called out on it you claim that there’s a conspiracy lead by Intel, all the journalists are on it but we all should take your word for it.
We both have all the information in the world literally in our hands and still you are unable to link to facts that support your statement and that is my fault somehow?
Nice talking to you. Have an awesome weekend. I will.
Hmm, do you remember the RAMBUS debacle, and the 180° turnaround Toms Hardware did on that in favor of Intel and P4?
I think that very clearly substantiates that Toms Hardware had an agenda to favor Intel.
It’s not my fault if you are unaware of facts that were common knowledge among IT specialists at the time.
You are making the fallacy of “argument from ignorance”. Just because you don’t know, doesn’t make it false.
