Can Amd compete with Nvidia in graphics cards and Intel in Cpus?

in 2006, Amd acquired Ati technologies. AMD has released Radeon 4850 and Radeon 4870 last month while Nvidia's new products are expensive. Amd will release a dual core Phenom to compete with Core 2 Duo. Phenom motherboards have a voltage problem since it cannot supply enough voltage.

Can Amd compete with Nvidia in graphics cards and Intel in Cpus?
I actually just bough parts to build an AMD system from newegg simply because they are cheaper, but I am going to use a NVIDIA graphics card simply because they seem a lot more reliable and ATI cards, and strangely ATI markets their graphics cards mainly on sex appeal somehow, which is just kindof weird. But to tell the truth, if I had enough money I would buy an intel based system.
Reply:ATi's new HD4870's are better than anything nVida has go currently even their new 280's.





AMD will probably come back on top at some point, remember the pentium 4 era, AMD dominated back then. Its always changes, and will continue to change back and forth.





Intel is going to be moving into the GPU market soon, and nVidia will be heavily tested, Intel makes 10x more money than nVidia so theres going to be a big fight.
Reply:right now ATI is beating nVidia. the only card better than the 4870 is the GTX 280 and the difference is marginal not to mention that the nVidia card is $200 MORE than the ATI. as far as chips go AMD dual core and quad cores are just as good as intels, they are cheaper and run cooler. Intel and nVidia is hype and over pricing.
Reply:No. Intel and nVidia are "together". And, they're already established as being number 1 in their fields.
Reply:no intel and Nividia are always good though Amd is cheap
