I like the good old dice, board and card games on the tablet as well.

seems to be a lot of fanboys again spouting how AMD can't compare and should be wary of the future. seriously doubt AMD is hurting or will be for some time since these "nex-gen" consoles are using their hardware. that's quite a bit more profit than just selling GPUs to us.

From today's article AMD Q2 2015 Financials Fall Short

AMD revenue was $942 million, down 8 percent from Q1 (which was down almost 17 percent from the previous quarter), and 35 percent year-over-year. AMD attributed the quarterly weakness to downward consumer PC demand, and the yearly decline to client and graphics product line sales decreases.

AMD reported an operating loss for the quarter of $137 million, equal to last quarter's operating loss, and a net loss of $181 million compared with a $180 million net loss in Q1.

AMD also reported that the computing and graphics part of its business was down 29 percent from last quarter, and 54 percent over the same time period compared to the year prior. The company attributed the quarterly decrease to fewer sales of client notebook processors. The operating loss in this part of the business was $147 million, compared to $75 million in Q1 and just $6 million a year ago.

In better news, AMD's enterprise, embedded and semi-custom revenues were up 13 percent over last quarter, mostly because of semi-custom SoC wins. The operating income was positive, at $27 million, but down compared with Q1's $45 million and the comparable quarter last year ($97 million), attributable to a charge taken from a node transition.

So the good news is the segment with the consoles grew 13%, bad news that is overall revenue is down 8% from last quarter, and 17% from the quarter before that and 35% from last year.

AMD to NVidia:
Pfftt.. don't you know the future is 4K gaming?

4K! 4K! 4K!

4k Is Coming.

But will it take as long as Winter in Game of Thrones to actually get here? The uber-high-end is one thing but most people are not going to really start bothering with it until it hits mid-range pricing.

Please don't copy part of a post. This does not reflect my point at all since I was discussing the question of whether 4GB will be sufficient for 4K games in the future.
