AMD need to get into the esports because this past times they are blasted by INTEL and the gamers don't choose any more them.

soz bad English.

Smoke2k

more money, better hardware

intel not showing any more interest?

we will never know

MinuteN

I think AMD is better than Intel :)

AspheXScorpion

intel is represented in all eSport activitys: Electronic Sports League, 4Kings, n!faculty and so on.
Where is AMD? :D
I think it was a good choice from SK Gaming and AMD to represent AMD more in the eSport Scene.

@AspheXScorpion
umm Sorry 4kings don't have Intel anymore :P

SeFo

@AspheXScorpion

better choice than intel thats why ;)

John

omg lets all go buy AMD :P

im already have AMD anyway :D

bring back insiderrrrrr

MSK

smarter choice..

It's not about who the better chip manufacturer is, it's about business, money, opportunity. AMD's offer has probably been better than Intel's, that's why they are the new main-sponsor. Simple. We will never know for sure though, if there existed an offer from Intel and they got outbid by AMD, or if they decided to quit the partnership for whatever reasons.

Intel is much more powerful
Lets say, Q6600 Vs the all amd? omg , i don't think AMD survives.

@ApoLivA
i'm pretty sure you don't need a Q6600 to play cs1.6 or wc3.

amd + ati's spider platform = cool :D
but im an intel user and personally prefer them over amd, but i recon amd will probably dominate in the future

@converge
AMD tries harder for customers and works smarter than Intel.

Intel has been technologically behind AMD for 5 years and its just beginning to show - when 64 bit games come to the fore AMD will be a clear winner.

AMD+ATI = even smarter choice(s) and with a little help from its friends Linux will be the next gamers O/S - free software for all.

its gotta have something to do with SK's partnership with ATi. That and i'm sure AMD can afford to supply SK with anything intel had done previously.

JaX_-

the slogan "better choice" made them do it =/

@converge
i read a lot of stupidity...

The fact is that AMD is now the Head Sponsor for 1 reason : the money.

Intel is a bigger firm that AMD (they lost more that 500M $ in 2007 with the buy which was overevalued plus their product which came LATE... phenom?)

If AMD want to back on track, they have to be present to back up some market part and sponsoring the most well know organisation of GAMING is a good way to do.

This is not a question of product themselve...

@AspheXScorpion
Actually, 4K is still sponsored by Intel, its not his main sponsor, but Intel still supports 4K...

Amd prices have dropped by 40 percent compared to intel. A 2.2 duel core on newegg retail box amd is $52. Intel 2.2 Duel retail is 124.99 big price diff. Now granted intels has more cache and has been benched a little bit better than amd's. Look at the price you cant beat it.
Dont listen to these people that say there is a huge diff. there isnt. I own both amd and intel processors both are great at what they do and the only way you will notice a diff. is with benchmarks.

Ever thought it had something to do with the fact that AMD now own ATi?

:)

blondeeh

col2 I'll think you'll find INTEL CPU's are more advanced then AMD's technolically nowadays.

AMD are no longer the ideal CPU for gamers especially. I still use one only cause they are cheap :P

SlightBlaze

Money wasnt concern when I bought my new PC 9 months ago. First I tought of buying AMD cos my brothers had said years ago that is better than Intel.. but then my friend gladly said Intel is better now. I first doubted my friend a bit but then checked few benchmarks, and the results were amayzing. And thats why Im now broud owner of Core 2 Duo Intel. :)

@ApoLivA
in this case its never what you NEED... its always what you CAN have...

n00b_turk

without intel, amd wouldn't survive! but without concurencies, intel wouldn't developes better chips!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices
read about the histories.
but a sponsorship with amd is a good choice, because amd has more experience with it.
like Scuderia Ferrari motorsports etc. :D http://www.amdmotorsports.com/

@converge
ATI + Linux

@converge
sadface.

intel has way better products and AMD is WAY behind them in terms of sales and technological progress...

anyways, money money money :]

SlightBlaze

Its progress of sience. With 2 firms to compete there is good prices for us costumers. I like to think they are like competing brothers who honor each other but want to do their thing in their own way. :)

nighthawk24

i have intel

pandoramon

intel > amd
nvidia > ati
razer > steelserie
nike > adidas
Thermaltake > coolermaster
corsair > kingston

SK|Carmac

I believe Alex Mueller addresses that in an interview that we will put up next week on SK Gaming. Stay tuned.

bomba6ko

dont know maybe AMD give more money but Intel have better hardware

jownaz

i was feeling piety for amd i hope they will grow again now

ApoLivA

It's true, you should not use Q6600 to CS, just amd.
Q6600 is 4 cores! So its should be used to set up servers and like that.

But still AMD is very good.
Even Intel.

intel > amd
nvidia > ati
razer > steelserie
nike > adidas
Thermaltake > coolermaster
corsair > kingston
