Read the female gamer article Intel website using a Pentium 4. You will load the page faster if you use a Pentium 4. They managed to use Pentium 4 in almost every single sentence in that article. Thank god for AMD's :) I feel sorry for the other female gamers out there who use AMD products and don't get this kind of publicity.



Also, not to be sexist... but look at her tourney record :O



One more thing: BAWLS ROCKS!!!

How can they afford to just give the stuff out for free?

Check this from AVault:

From their TV ads featuring the offbeat Blue Man Group to their sponsorship of the CPL, Intel has helped to prove that computing is no longer the exclusive domain of geekdom.

Am I reading this ? The Blue Man ? OMG LOL

This has to be the gayest idea in the history of mankind, talk about lame marketing, YES DO AS THE BLUE MAN DOWNLOAD FASTER WITH PENTIUM 4 AND 56K AOL !!!

Disclosure: New-World owns CPL. New-World owns AVault. CPL biggest sponsor is Intel. CPL is New-World's biggest holding.



Everything about the CPL and its sponsors on AVault is basically fluff (maybe not reviews, I don't question them). I guess it's not that big of a deal, but AVault is out to make the CPL and its sponsors look good.



So, yes, they'll give Intel a pat on the back for a pretty bad advertising campaign that didn't relate to processors at all.

neat

notice how intel interviews the girl only about the subject on the pentium 4, usin her for the promo. =\ I don't mind it since she's sponcered by them, BUT atleast she should be able to talk about her life in the gaming world. It just seems like an advertisment more than an interview. just my 2 cents

It just seems like an advertisment more than an interview
