Could be. I use an iPhone for work (my choice) but would never spend my own money on one as it stands today.
I use Intel preferentially but have no problem buying AMD and have several running. I use Nvidia preferentially instead of AMD on GPUs, but that's fairly recent--and solely due to 1. AMD's track record of dropping support for still-capable GPUs from driver updates, and 2. failure to install on Windows Server editions. Nvidia is lightyears ahead on both aspects. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Weeden Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2012 4:50 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Five Reasons iPhone 5 Disappoints I wonder if you took a survey of those that "won't buy apple/love Android" and compared to those who "won't buy Intel/love AMD". My guess is the correlation would be significant. ------------ Brian Sent from my iPhone On Sep 15, 2012, at 17:46, Naushad Zulfiqar <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah the krait is a mighty fine chipset. > > I can't wait to see the one with the adreno 3 series of gpu.
