I agree, amd does need Tony Stark as CEO.

Tony Stark is officially the coolest person ever in my book. After seeing that movie, I wanted to be him. I mean seriously, how cool is that ARC reactor?

and by no means AMD isn't loosing half a billion $ per quorter!

Now please can we get some serious comment on this forum, or just childish faboyism?!

You're right... Looking at AMD's 2007 financials, they are actually losing a little shy of $900 million a quarter. Not the meager half billion the original poster pointed out. Thanks for the clarification

Although, admittedly, AMD will probably only lose $1 billion this year. An optimist would point out that this is less than 1/3rd of the loss AMD suffered last year. The pessimist would point out that this is still 1/6th of their revenue.

oh yes kinda like How that stupid tiny company called Microsoft was absolutely crushed out of existence by IBM

R&D Capital doesn't equal better. More Clever engineers without bad management equals better

Tho, 8 cores sounds better still
