Even if AMD could compete - big companies like EMC, Netapp, Akamai, AWS, etc. all use Intel. How much effort would be required to move to AMD? I can tell you, it's massive.
I see what you're saying but I don't understand
Are you buying amd just because it's not Intel? I'm not trying to be confrontational just trying to work it out
