Topic: AMD vs ASIC Marketers (Read 524 times)
amd is in the market, interesting.
AMD does not care.
It's not profitable long-term to a big company like AMD to invest in the mining market, ASICs are expensive only because they are new and with premium for early adopters, with competition they will get pretty cheap.
Why doesnt AMD do that ? I think investing money to develop grafic card and at least 5Ghs miner in it is too expensive. They are not a company who is selling mining hardware, their cards only can do it thats all
Much the same way that nvidia hasn't changed the way their cards work to get a share of the market I think it is fair to say that amd will just let it be what it is.
I think there are more than a few thousands worldwide... look at how many orders BFL got slammed with.
There are storm clouds on the horizon for AMD graphics card mining. Will this huge company just let this part of their market go, or will they make the ASIC boxes seem like dinosaurs. I've seen a video of the inside of a ASICS box. Looks like 3 altered tahiti PCBs and a cheap 750 power supply. I think it was Kingwin. With the value of Bitcoins holding around $100, this is getting to be pretty big money which will draw many miners into the market. Here's what I think will happen.............. hehe........... RIGHT NOW AMD is building a 250 USD card that will get 5 ghs and also play most games on medium settings. Maybe a dual GPU type card but not a high end graphics card. With your vote, I'd also like to hear if you'd be interested in buying a card from AMD like I described. What would really be cool if they offered a water cooling option for the miner. Hehe.
Also, if AMD were to build a card that would turn 5 to 7 Ghs for around 250 USD, what would this do to the price of bitcoins. I think bitcoins should remain a viable way for gamers to buy pizza, what's your thoughts?
