On the third day of the 2007 Taipei IT Month in [[Taiwan]] yesterday, [[w:Laptop|notebook computers]] and [[w:desktop computer|desktop computers]] built with [[w:AMD|AMD's]] [[w:Phenom (processor)|''Phenom'' processor]] and [[w:Intel|Intel]] [[w:Intel Core 2#Penryn|''Penryn'' processor]] openly battled for the consumer-market after each company launched their [[w:Multi-core (computing)|quad core]] processors.

Intel with partners like [[w:Acer|Acer]], Genuine, [[w:ASUS|ASUS]], and [[w:Lenovo|Lenovo]] promoted their desktops with ''Core 2 Quad'' and notebooks with ''Centrino Duo'', even though Intel didn't plan to exhibit in IT Month. Intel's Taiwan division is holding two road shows for [[w:Do it yourself|DIY]] experts. One was on December 1 while the second will be on December 8.

AMD, on the other hand, put on a showcase for IT Month with a ''"[[w:Bee Movie|Bee Movie]]"'' booth-style exhibit at halls 1 and 3 of the [[w:Taipei World Trade Center|Taipei World Trade Center]]. AMD's subsidiary company [[w:ATI Technologies|ATI]] showcased [[w:High-Definition Multimedia Interface|HDMI]] and [[w:1080p|Full HD]] with a demonstration of a new graphic card named "Radeon HD2000".

As the two rivals postured over factors like performance and high-definition, ''Wikinews'' reporter [[User:BrockF5|Rico Shen]] interviewed some of their partners. [[w:BenQ|BenQ]] and [[w:Micro-Star International|Micro-Star International]] both said: "No matter whether the consumer chooses a computer with AMD or Intel, the consumer should consider it based on functionality and practically before purchasing. For example, some low-price notebook computers ([[w:EeePC|EeePC]], [[w:One Laptop per Child|OLPC]]) were launched before the show because notebook computer manufacturers had considered and evaluated what a consumer really want. Sincerely, I recommend a consumer not be fooled by a its price but to consider its functionality first!"
