AMD won best CPU manufacturer at an awards show sponsored by Intel. The intel rep handing out the awards walked off the stage rather than hand the award to AMD representatives....

Tsk tsk....

AMD CAUSED something of a ruckus last night by winning the Computer Trade Show award for Best CPU Manufacturer at a shindig sponsored by Intel.

Awards, presented by Intel, were given out throughout the night. However, the Intel lady left the AMD award until last, and walked off the stage rather than present it personally to a jubilant set of chaps.

the question is... will they refuse to sponsor the awards next year unless the awards judges promise never to do that again. :D
