Reasons to not buy a CPU
« on: October 08, 2003, 11:39:50 AM »
Since AROS Runs on AMD processors, Intel Processors and Motorola Processors, here is a funny thing I found on the Inquirer

Top Ten Reasons not to buy an AMD Chip:
1 Only INQUIRER readers have heard of AMD
2 Its silk screen printing has been outsourced to India
3 Like Carly Fiorina's HP, it's using SITEL
4 There are too many pins on its chips
5 There are too few pins on its chips
6 It hasn't got Pat Goldfinger working for it
7 Its executives run away from Maureen Gara, Charlie Demerjian and Mike Magee
8 It doesn't know how to throw good parties any more
9 Hector Ruiz is the CEO now
10 Err... that's it. µ


Top Ten Reasons not to buy an Intel Chip:
1 Intel chips don't warm the room up as much as Athlons
2 Athlons do more per clock cycle
3 Intel CPUs make a bigger hole in your pocket.
4 Intel changes form factors/slots/ pinouts more frequently than Hector changes his underwear
5 RMBS Inc
6 Intel supplies chips used in a mass market games console designed by Microsoft
7 It's not as exclusive as AMD
8 Intel tried to force everyone to use expensive RDRAM
9 Did we mention Rambus ?
10 Intel is not suffering as much as the rest of the IT industry (very British, I know) µ


Top Ten Reasons not to buy a Motorola Chip:
1 It soon won't make semiconductors any more
2 It soon won't make semiconductors any more
3 It soon won't make semiconductors any more
4 It soon won't make semiconductors any more
5 It soon won't make semiconductors any more
6 It soon won't make semiconductors any more
7 It soon won't make semiconductors any more
8 It soon won't make semiconductors any more
9 Er, that's it, except for...
10 Hector Ruiz used to be in charge of Power PC chips there..


Made me laugh anyway :)
