AMD Athlon64 radio commercial

[cheeta05r]

Anyone else her this commercial (97.9 the Loop ~ Chicago). I was really suprised because AMD hardly does any advertising. The commercial was basically a back to school commercial, it was actually kinda funny. I think it was done in conjunction with HP, because it mentioned $150 off on HP Athlon64 systems.

that is rare. proabbly was just the hp pimping the a64

Actually, I am seeing more and more exposure for AMD.

Right now, Future shop is offering many A64 systems, and has blurbs in their paper ads about the A64.

I was quite surprised - normally you'd see P4 or Centrino ads. There were none of those, but three A64 ads in the same paper. They're really pushing those A64's out the door.

This is nice cause a lot of people out there don't even know what AMD is. They see Pentium commercials so they're like I need one of those. I mean if they'd just push the 64 bit thing in a TV spot, that would really help them cause people would be like I should get the higher bits... It's better to have more bits... more bits are good... Then you got Best Buy guy...
"So you're going to use your computer for internet surfing, email and some word processing? Definitely need an Athlon 64 3800+"

I think there gonna try and bump up the adds for the back to school shopping and Christmas season. Lets hope that advertising money is well spent.

Its still 1000% more advertising than they normally do...

At this point, any advertising is good.
