Yeah, they're selling tons of those Visheras.

AMD has a BIG problem- their main market is the dwindling group of AMD motherboard owners who don't feel like swapping motherboards.

You're completely cornfused Rollo or in denial.

Actually AMD are selling a lot of Visheras and also laptop APUs. In addition AMD's contract wins for the next PS, Xbox and Wii are estimated to represent sales of 5 million more APUs - which are premium priced unique APUs for the specific consoles. AMD's Steamroller is reported to drop into AM3+ mobos with just a BIOS update. That delivers greater value to current AMD customers and mobo mfgs. Seeing as though Vishera performs quite well and is an excellent value, AMD owners are not sacrificing anything other than being exploited by inflated Intel CPU prices.

Yes AMD is doing far better than the critics would like people to believe. AMD still has a long road to full recovery ahead to be at the top of their game in all market segments but Steamroller is on the way and it will improve FX CPU performance considerably. AMD's transition to 28nm node size for APU/CPU will also lower power consumption even more than the current APUs are now, which is excellent already.

AMD's eggs ain't all in one basket as their GPU sales are good and their ULV products are now going into tablets and other portables. AMD is expanding it's revenue streams and market base to continue their growth. Intel was shut out of all three popular consoles because their APUs are simply inferior to AMDs. AMD GPUs are doing well also. Nvidia was shut out on consoles sales because they don't have an APU - which is what the majority of all PCs and portable devices will be using in the not too distant future. AMD current leads in APU products and tech.

Those in denial need to take the blinders off and get in touch with reality. All of the above info. has been published by PC hardware sites and industry analyst so it's not speculation at all.

At this point the AMD 5.0 GHz. Centurion CPUs are a RUMOR but it would be cool if AMD decides to sell a few of these, though I think the $795. price tag is absurd and for those folks with more money than good judgement.

This thread is suppose to be about the AMD 5.0 GHz. CPU until it was hi-jacked with off-topic bogus rants about AMD's sales...
