AMD Exec would never buy an AMD Chip

[RHKCommander959]

Well, being 6 years old does make it less bad. But that's still horrible PR regardless, and a very stupid comment for an Exec to make

It wasn't PR

internal AMD communication from former Executive Vice President ....

Read the story; it's an internal memo. This has nothing to do with PR.

Thank you

The entire context is likely missing... He was stating that AMD needed their own chipsets and such, and by the looks of it suggesting they needed better marketing which was true in 04'. Noobs still praise the p4 though much less now.

I assume the discussion was about the need of an "platform approach".

The comment could have been taken out of context, since most probably it was describing the market situation and customer perception.

Umm....

I don't know how to put this...but...of course I know he didn't say that directly to the media as a PR move. However with the context intel has put it in, for the average clueless user, yes it is terrible PR. Making negative comments about your company is never something you say on the record.
