AMD's Ruiz interviewed

Hector Ruiz, Adavanced Micro Devices’ CEO, was interviewed about how AMD’s dual-core Opteron will impact its battle with Intel for affection and marketshare (and more). The interview with CRN Editor In Chief Michael Vizard and Senior Editor Ed Moltzen can be read here.

CRN: When do you think dual-core Opteron systems will make an impact in the market?

RUIZ: I divide it into two parts. It will be rather dramatic in that it will force people to rethink their designs, but it will take some time to get things started. So the volume impact for us will probably be next year.

Snip.

CRN: Do you think Intel exacerbated the situation in the flash memory market to cut off a source of revenue for AMD's microprocessor business?

RUIZ: Funny how 999 people out of 1,000 actually think that.
