2- Hold on to a 1-5% share of the desktop market where price is the only element of choice such as in the majority of 3rd world countries and China
3- Go bankrupt from lack of funds and casflow to invest in developing a new replacement project/ be bought out by Nvidia or other

Don't tell me AMD does not need Bulldozer to survive because everyone knows very well that this company won't survive on the graphics department alone...
Bulldozer will be able to compete with Intel mainstream product in the 150-250$ range. That's a lot better than the actual product line. But I know many guys are expecting more for a "brand new" architecture.
