AMD plans to refresh its entire product line during 2004, said Dirk Meyer, the senior vice president of AMD's Computation Products group. "You're not going to see any big product launches from AMD in 2004, rather, you're going to see the fruits of the harvest we planted earlier," he said, referring to AMD's 64-bit Opteron and Athlon 64 processors.

Oh great, just when I sold my AMD stocks.

The only way AMD can succeed to compete with Intel is to increase its manufacturing capacity by a few orders of magnitude and with all the new fabs they have or that they plan to build in patnership with other companies, they might reach their goal and eventually increase their market share beyond 20% (they are currently around 15%).

Why haven't AMD and IBM come up with something?

AMD: We have kick ass chips and not enough fabs.
IBM: We have idle fabs and and cutting edge technology.

I want kick ass chips with cutting technology!
