I sort of wanted to post this in the Intel forum, but fear that it would be deleted for "trolling" I figured I better stick it here in the AMD forum. That said, I am not trolling, but expressing my opinion....

WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE NEW INTEL "REVAMP"? Intel - Leap Ahead?!? What marketing genius came up with that shit? Better yet, what executive looked at "Intel - Leap Ahead" and said, "BRILLIANT!!"?!?

Intel now has one of the most confusing branding schemes in the industry...along with one of the most assinine slogans....LEAP AHEAD? Leap ahead MY ASS! The I can hope for is that Intel FINALLY loses that annoying "dung-dung-dung-ding" audio slogan in their advertisements...but they will probably try to "update" that as well and it will be even more annoying.

I have not run an Intel processor in any of my boxes since the Pentium III 933mhz box I put toghether years ago (that my mom still uses daily to check her email and poke around on the web), and I certainly am not going to drop AMD and run to Intel because of their new marketing campaign. Hey Intel, instead of focusing resourses on a new marketing campaign, how about PRODUCING SOME BETTER-THAN-AMD PROCESSORS!?!?

Intel - Leap Ahead....HA!

hmmm thinking... when is the last time I've ever heard anyone on these boards happy about the marketing campaign of any company? thinking... oh.. NEVER! Being unhappy with someone's marketing campaign is great, but putting money into marketing pays off most of the time. It's an investment just like any other. I guess you know everything though right? I graduate in May, I will only have my bachelor's in business but if I've learned anything in my last 4 years here, it's that I don't know much. "Leap Ahead" sounds like a fine slogan to me. I'm sorry that little things bug you so much. You must be miserable.

You were doing so well with your argument there until you get to "I guess you know everything though right?". At that point you turn your opinion in to a flame of sorts. At that point you ruin any kind of validity to your argument as you descend in to childish jibes in an apparent attempt to belittle me and MY opinion. Being that you just graduated, I will consider your age as factor...

I posted a rant...simple as that. I (of course) know how marketing works, that said, I expressed my OPINION on the matter and it is as valid as yours...
 
do you work for a marketing company?

trust me, at intel's level, I think their marketing crew knows what they're doing...

Actually...I work for a publishing company that produces national magazines and regional speciality newspapers and I have 15+ years of marketing experience.
 
& some of us, old enough to remember Chairman Mao, his Little Red Book & the so-called cultural revolution he undertook called The Great Leap Forward, are less than impressed w/this marketing hooha.

Thats the dumbest word one can possibly use, but I guess since it's has been used a lot lately in politics it's now popular.

Probably the same one who keeps handing AMD it's ass in the market share. I love an AMD guy bashing Intel on their marketing. When's the last time you've seen a slogan from AMD? Or a commercial for that matter? Oh... and geek tv doesn't count. LOL
 
amd's slogan should be
"Word of mouth FTW"

cause slogans/commercials are not needed at all :p

oh, and there are AMD commericals. I don't watch too much tv but I saw one in best buy :)

Then for the sake of peace let's put your thread here, since in fairness, in doesn't belong in the AMD Processor forum either. Since it's verging on the edge of flamebait as it is. Fair enough. :)

not a slogan/commercial, but AMD was plastered all over Lance Armstrong, one of, if not THE most covered athlete last year.
