AMD Gears Up for Future Intel Wars – Enter Bulldozer and Bobcat
By
After appearing to have fallen behind in the microprocessor arms race, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD – Cramer’s Take – Stockpickr – Rating) finally offered a glimpse of its next generation of chips.
The two chips, code-named Bulldozer and Bobcat, are still a couple of years away from commercial availability. But they represent the most-concrete evidence to date of how AMD intends to leverage its $5.4 billion acquisition of graphics chipmaker ATI to battle Intel going forward. AMD also said its upcoming quad-core processor, dubbed Barcelona, will put the company back on an even playing field and help stabilize the falling prices that have eroded profit margins of late.
