AMD Vs INTEL

By SATISH ADDALA

INTRODUCTION
History of AMD :

Founded on May 1, 1969 by Jerry Sanders and seven friends, AMD's first product was a 4-bit shift register. AMD is the second-largest global supplier of microprocessors based on the x86 architecture and also one of the largest supplier of graphics processing units.

 In 2003, AMD debuted the Opteron for servers and high-end workstations, the first 64-bit x86compatible CPU on the market. AMD announced a merger Technologies on July 24, 2006. with ATI

In 2009, AMD ranked eighth among semiconductor manufacturers in terms of revenue.

History of Intel :
Intel was founded in 1968 by Gordon E. Moore and Robert Noyce. Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, USA

ORIGIN OF THE NAME:

They used the name NM Electronics for almost a year, before deciding to call their company. Integrated Electronics or Intel for short.

 By 1970 the company became highly competitive DRAM, SRAM AND ROM market. In 1981 Intel entered into a strategic alliance with IBM in which IBM WILL USE Intel's microprocessor for it desktops models

 Acquisition of McAfee Performance, Power and Protection On 19 August 2010, Intel announced that it planned to purchase McAfee, a manufacturer of computer security technology.

 In the next five years we shall see Intel manufacturing an 8.3Ghz processor and AMD a 7.2Ghz processor based on current processor speeds.

Future Forecast

Strategies of INTEL & AMD

INTEL:
Intel's strategy of producing ever-more-powerful processors and upgrading predecessors processors.

AMD:
a) Devalue the Intel brand, b) Eliminate Intel's technical advantage,

High performing computer More investment in R&D Innovation in products Strengthen distribution channel. High and well trained staff. Differentiating strategies

Why Intel is ahead of AMD?

Highly Productive Plants ( Produce Max. Units A Day) High Performing And Reliable Computer Chips Working With Customer To Share Vision Of Company Market Share Of Customers Good Brand Values High Expertise Engineers Customer Awareness

st position. Why? Intels 1

 Intel is clearly the market leader in the manufacture of microprocessors based on their revenue forecasts and market share dominance. Intel has 6 times the number of employees the AMD. Comparisons of High End Processors proves that Intel is better processors than AMD.
