Introduction

Some may think that I am a big AMD fan, others even go as far as seeing me as AMD's last crusader and then there are also the people that are convinced I am nothing but a mere Intel-hater. Is it true that I am on 'AMD's side' and against Intel?

Athlon Changed AMD's Position

AMD has a long history of competing against Intel. It started back in the days of the first Intel 8086 processor. Several years later it came almost to a halt after Intel released the Pentium-CPU and AMD responded with a late and rather mediocre K5-counterpart. AMD saved its neck by acquiring NexGen, which made them able to launch K6, K6-2 and then K6-3 to compete against Intel's Pentium II-line. The big break-through for AMD however came in August last year, when they launched the Athlon-processor, a CPU of superior design, running on the proprietary 'SlotA' platform and outrunning any Intel-processor by quite a long shot. Today Intel is back on par with AMD again, but with the difference that AMD's fastest part, the Athlon 800, is actually available, while Intel's new flagship, the Pentium III 800, is still in very short supply.
