<font color=purple>Ladies and Gentlemen, its...Hammer Time !</font color=purple>
 
A month ago I had stated how deeply sadnening the situation had become. I even stated, and Crashman backed me up, that it was only an amount of time before they fell. It was inevitable.

Now, in a timeframe of less than a month, AMD has definitely risen its stakes. I could be wrong, when I think of the A64 becoming more competitive. But, for now, AMD has done a lot lately, and Intel has probably done it on purpose to delay their CPUs, so that competition would arise. The Microsoft support, the LAN Community enthusiasm over A64's appearance there, the shares rising over a small trivial statement and the strong hardware support they are getting, will ensure to give them a one year lifeline for now.

I do think I was wrong to doubt them, but back then, there was so little proof they even could compete anymore. I didn't expect a damn thing could dig them out of this volcanic hole they dug themselves in. But, this is good, and I hope it turns out right.

That still won't stop AMD from being overenthusiastic and running into 0.09m conversion troubles, (and they probably have not even mastered SOI to get that extra 35% theoretical clock speed at the current process). That still won't stop me from being disappointed in how little it offers.
I still want Hyper-Threading on it. I still want the Prescott's new multimedia functions on it.


UPDATE: Yo G, where the heck did you find 9.25$? They said 8.91$!

AMD stock should be around $14 a share, but I doubt it will climb that high because of scared investors. I'd calle it a long term projected value except that the A64 is still up in the air.

I told a guy around 1.5 years ago to buy ATI at $8 a share, it droped to $3.40 a share, last I looked it was at $13 a share. But compared to other investments a 50% gain in 1.5 years is very solid. And a few months ago my dad was making fun of me when the price was down, I told him "you're supposed to BUY low". Oh well.

Oh, and stock analyst are almost always wrong when it comes to tech stocks. Remember the big tech stock rally a couple years ago? They told people to sell AMD when it was around $14 a share, and it rose to over $80 a share. When it got to around $45 a share they said buy it, but such a late purchase wouldn't have made you nearly as much money, and then they didn't recommend selling it again until...the market was crashing!

Tech stocks tend to follow the product cycle more than last years, last months, or last weeks earnings. PE ratios and so forth can't help much.

Maybe today!

But that link you had in your first post didn't say so, and I was commenting on it.

pe ratios and earnings reports might not clue you in on what the stock is doing, but it does help you figure out what kind of long term investment it is, amd eps is -4.05 and yes that's negative, and as amd's stck has been rising so has intels, up almost $2 in 5 days over 8%,
so I think it is more the sector moving up then it is an amd or intel specific thing, along with they're both releasing chips soon
*intel did hit a 52 week high today

You make a good point, however, AMD has not had good sales lately, nor a good reputation due to their PR scams. Yet, they just rose by over 10%.

I strongly believe that a majority of that rise came from the news. Let's face it, people ARE excited about this. QuakeCon had people nuts in line waiting to try one out.
And every tidbit about it is put on the web. We got Mr_G here posting pics of the naked core! :smile:

Yes, well long term investments and short term trading will yield different results, so you're right when it comes to long term investors. After all, if you had bought AMD at $14 a couple years ago and NOT sold it when it was trading at $80, but instead hung onto it as a long term investment, you would have been disappointed.

These types of long term strategies fly in the face of the "buy low sell high" philosophy.

AMD and Intel are both having problems comming up with a new product that can garunty a significant increase in sales.

Definitely!

IF and only IF the 754-pin version can win MOST of the benchmarks, and costs much less than the 3.2GHZ, will AMD really reclaim that performance crown. But I don't want just that, I am hoping for an arse-whooping, each side shelling out their best. This is AMD's turn, the ATB bar has filled, their weapons and magics are up for use! If they can BLAST a CRITICAL hit, they win this one. I don't want a KO! I want a kill!

LOL, too much RPGs for me.
