Rise of AMD against monopoly

Image
Intel has been biggest name in processor production for many years.But recently they started to lose the race to their rival AMD. History of Battle Lets go over history of batt le between Intel and AMD over pc market. For many years AMD CPUs were considered inferior compared to Intel. So  they Started investing time and resources to catch up while building their own tech into their cpu. In 2003 AMD Released their heavy hitter Athlon 64 bit cpu which were  for the first time superior to what Intel had to offer. Now with AMD started to put focus on gaming , Intel rushed to catch up the 64 bit cpu,which was they neglected over years.By 2006 Intel released Core 2 duo processors that destroyed the main stream processors of AMD. And shortly after AMD produced Athlon X2 Dual core processors. Then shortly Both jumped into quad core and beyond. And While this was Happening, PC gaming started getting really popular all over.Then people started to decide whether to choose mainstream Inte...

Is powerpc a failure

Few years back… Wait!!!! I do know very little about happenings in ISA and rivals during 1980–2009. But after that Intel is very good at speeding up its devices by leveraging its manufacturing technology comparing side by side  PowerPc  processors were always about equal to x86 processors. More expensive than  ARM  and  MISP  Processors..which one would you choose. Present situation… IBM  has released the Power Architecture instruction set to the  Linux  Foundation, making it freely available to anyone who wants it. It’s a no-cost, royalty-free license to the ISA much like the one for RISC-V(which was also maintained by Linux Foundation) and other open-source processors. Starting now, you can design your own PowerPC processor without first paying a hefty license fee.. Hey, good news and bad news welcomed us. GOOD NEWS   free processor! What’s not to like about that? You get an official IBM-designed CPU with a huge upside growth path...
