Thanks to SunkenCiv for the heads up.

Look for the lawsuits soon after claiming Intel used AMD technology for it’s chips.

Intel grabs AMD's chief of graphics to head its department of graphic Processor design. . . This should make things more interesting in the future of graphic processor competition. — PING!

Apparently AMD did not make this engineer sign a non complete
clause in his contract. Should have been for at least 3-4 years.

I read something interesting earlier today about shares in graphics processor companies being inflated due to cryptocurrency mining and that the deflation of Bitcoin combined with increased rewards on mining has caused a decrease in demand.

I’m not sure if that is an accurate assessment, but apparently amongst crypto miners, there is widespread use of GPUs to do the processing.

Take it for what it is worth, I don’t know enough about either GPUs or crypto to hash (pun intended) whether or not it is true.

Buy NVDA on ANY weakness. It is riding the BitCoin wave to $25,000

So AMD hasn’t been able to compete with Intel in CPU’s, and hasn’t been able to compete with nVidia in GPU’s. So bringing this guy in obviously hurts AMD, but helps Intel how exactly? Maybe with Intel’s money he can do more? I’m lost on this one. I think this is more about Intel trying to protect their CPU business and (maybe) upgrade their crap integrated graphics.

Nvidia - NVDA stock is way up.
See 1 year chart.

The news I read this week regarding AMD and Intel, was that they were forming a partnership to produce a chip combining Intel processors with AMD graphics technology, to produce a single processor, which is an area that Nvidia cannot compete in.

Intel and AMD team up against Nvidia to produce a new laptop chip

That sounds different from what Swordmaker wrote above.

AMD is lagging behind NVIDIA when it comes to discrete video cards. Not sure how big of a news this is. Now when it comes to integrated APU’s AMD definitely has a leg up on Intel’s week offerings.

Some are saying that the recently-announced JV between Intel and AMD is to produce a CPU/GPU combo for upcoming MacBooks.

Do you think that there is anything to that?

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure. AMD, Nvidia, and Intel are a bit like these characters:
