Marketing should come up with the statagey to sell the product via advertising etc not vice versa.

The salesman does the door knocking and promises the product even though theres none in stock becuause he/she doesn't check.

MarCom (Marketing Communications) handles advertising and packaging while Technical Marketing handles product requirements and product management. Sales will sell a product and then tell Marketing and Engineering to build it.

Jesus in that case they'd ask for a fridge and then get a microwave and a fridge combined unit.

... If that's what made sense to those making the decisions.
Perhaps they have an excess of inventory of microwave oven parts that they need to sell off?

Nope just marketing coming up with a product I don't need.

I think marketing at Intel made a wrong choice.

Thy mainly focused on features that sell instead of inovation (IE blue crystals, go watch presentation from Bob Collwell again). Of course marketing has a point, but with Netburst, it appears engineers were not listened to or marketing had too much weight in engineering process. IE Netburst was designed to sell, not to perform.

Wombat says you're wrong.


At the end of the day consumers say whether marketing is right or wrong and whne intel was pushing rambus we know what happened.

Perhaps I've just developed a pessimistic attitude, but I think the "average consumer" doesn't have the slightest clue about the things they buy and nor do they want to know. They're just happy to be told "Hey, this new product is better, buy it!", especially with technologically complex products like computers or cars. We might think "Hey, this new processor may run my CGI rendering package 2% faster, but look at how much heat it puts out", but I'm afraid the more typical response is "Hey, look at the purty blue lights on these new computers!"

I'm not sure all the costs involved, but I would still say the Netburst architecture was successful. It's been selling very well for Intel during this time so I'm confident that they got a huge return on their investment. The only reason it's getting the bad press is due to the unexpected wall in the 90nm process.

Well let me just say this,

They do miss me!
