then why don't they make intel chips, instead of just taking intel and adding their own fuckery that makes them garbage amd chips ?
like really, all they have to do is start making actual intel chips and not fucking adding anything to it, and then it would be perfect, because then they'd be intel chips, only cheaper.
i don't understand.

They have a license to produce chips of x86 architecture, not a license for intel's fabrication technology.
To begin with they don't have the technology to do it.

That's because you're an idiot.

ok, neckbeard.

AMD has licence to make CPUs with specific instruction set (x86) set, not Intel CPUs.
>>55249361
Didn't AMD literally invent x86?
>>55249466
No, that's Intel. They also invented x87 and IA64
>>55249484
x64 was amd invention...
>>55249509
x86-64 was, Intel has it's own 64bit arch.
>>55249529
intel dont have anything anymore because ms dropped their support to ia64 some time now..
>>55249509
Who said anything about x64?
>>55249558
dont know why we are speaking about something that never actually did what is suppose to do and failed ?
>>55249544
Sad thing really, itanium have an order of magnitude better performance at math and floating points compared to similarly clocked core2 x86-64 cpu
>>55249580
And a 700mm2 die size
>>55249576
IA64 did exactly what it was meant to.
Run servers and scare off the competition.

You can do shit like that when you have a war chest the size of Intel's. Burn billions of dollars to wreak havoc in the sector, like making Oracle buy Sun.
