AMD was at #2 with a 56% drop in value in 2012. (!) Notes pc oriented industry in general hit hard by recession, 44% losses at HP.

If everyone supported AMD like I have, they wouldn't be in the position they're in. I bought a 7970 this year, and two top of the line Phenom IIs in the last couple. The only reason I didn't get a Bulldozer was I got tired of waiting for it with the delays to launch.

Posted because it is tech news.

Not like Intel performed much better. The wost performing stock in my portfolio by far. Fluctuation is certainly normal, but at one point this year it was pushing nearly $30 a share and now it's just barely keeping above the $20 mark on a good day.

INTC peaked around $29 and now is around $20.50 from 2012 performance

This is so awesome. Cause HP gave us $9.99 -$19.99 printers from staples
and AMD gave us the Tatia LE.

Seems like stock whom ever has the worst stocks has the best business ethics.

Dumping products at cost or even at a loss does nothing but hurt your brand image, resulting in a further slide towards bankruptcy. Investors will flee as fast as they can the moment they see signs of desperation.

didn't sony sell the ps3 at a loss?

Initially they did but BOM costs drop throughout the life of the product and they more than made up for any hardware costs with game licensing/royalties.

I agree, AMD's pricing alone to many leaves the impression of an inferior product far more so than the impact of actual performance relative to Intel.

It's not the price that will lead consumers to buy AMD products, consumers have to want to buy AMD products irrespective of pricing.

mass production is required to be sucessful and profitable
if you cannot mass produce a product , cause you made it for a niche of those whom are not suffering in poverty on earth like the majority are, you are not sucessful cause rich rarely cared about investing in these niche very often anyway
provide our internet right, with the computers and printers oh my and what do you have. purchasing of computer parts like the past and a nice circulation of money
and real investment. the purchase of your product so you have the cash flow to make more
