AMD is dead. Long live AMD The Survivor

[tajoh111]

For all the idiots in the world:

This is great! And you know what? Intel will immediately reduce prices across the board on all cpus!
And you know what? At the same time Intel will pour many more dollars into research and innovation so they can sell more powerful cpu's at LOWER prices to the enthusiast and business community. A win win for everyone!



I am so sick of all the fan boys jumping and down with glee every time there is negative news on AMD. Maybe the best thing would be for AMD to die, so the Dept of Justice can step in and bust Intel up into little pieces.

Declare that x86 license null and void, so that anyone can start designing and building processors, and you will see real innovation.

Oh really, I haven't seen a post where someone was happy that AMD is losing money at such a crazy rate. Everyone, I mean everyone knows if AMD was not around, prices would increase and development would slow.

I haven't seen one post of people jumping for glee when AMD fails, especially in the CPU chip part. Vastly disappointed maybe, but never happy.

The only thing I see that might be mistaken as something like this, is when someone corrects an AMD fanboys, overly mistaken optimism about AMD situation financially. E.g AMD going to make a killing selling their GPU, but in actuality they have made them a net profit of 8 million in quarter 3 09.

People might appreciate additionally AMD low prices on their processors, but then again, if you know anything about finances, AMD doesn't make money because their profit margins are so low compared to the competition.

The key to AMD making money is making better chips so they can increase their margins and raise their prices in respect to the competition.

AMD needs to see black eventually or they are screwed additionally sooner than later. This is fact for any company that has been losing money for so long.

The same thing cannot be said for NV, people always get happy when bad things happen to them. Strangely enough, if NV wasn't around, AMD would raise prices and slow development. The current price of the 5870 are a reflection of that.
