Sorry got side tracked when someone attacked me stating AMD core business model is dead because they were not able to keep up with the technology. I used some analogies of dead businesses like Kodak, Nortel, Xerox, Memorex, etc... Apparently some one did not like me saying if you own AMD stock to liquidate your position before you get caught holding the bag. I can only assume they own and use AMD.

 



I'm not trying to put down people for reading the thread. I am saying the original poster is obviously just trolling for anything negative about AMD. It is very transparent. He wants people to agree with him to inflate his ego. I started reading the thread. But it soon became pretty obvious that NOTHING AMD does is any good. GPU's, CPU's, IGPU's. Old management, new management. They aren't worth being bought out. They have no worthwhile intellectual property. No one would invest in them. Hundreds of posts about the same exact thing. If they are that bad why even post about them? I am calling him out and I could give a rats behind what you think.
 


Too bad they didn't stay broken up. Verizon and ATT are way too big and dominant. I worked at Southern New England Telephone from 1983 when I got out of the USMC till I was bought out around 2000. So many guys took the buyout many of us came back because they had no installation guys. Now I work in broadband for Frontier.
 


Then perhaps we can get some mods to come in and see what they think about your comments i'm guessing they wouldn't care for them since they generally don't like people calling other users out and then claiming they don't care what a certain user thinks when they do it.

As for the comments about everything Amd is doing is bad well at the moment they are behind in every area(besides the igpu something juan never put down). And they are being quiet and so on the need to call them out is needed.

For example do you want the news to just stop posting bad things to make you happy?

You are



And you are fighting people who disagrees with you.
 


Liquidate immediately and let another Sucker hold the bag. You don't have to be a Broker to figure that one out. AMD is toast.

 
Hi. All. This is just a though after reading the title.

Let me start from what I want to see in the future in the pc world.
A list of stuff I want to see.
-a tablet pc that let me install os of my choice
-8 hrs + batteries life. "gaming 3-4 hrs"
-can play games "all steam game without lag" it doesn't have to be max res but playable setting.
-water proof.
-less than 1.5lb without dock station
-it have a dock station that have some HDD space in it
-under 699 USD. Same price of apple an Ipad 128Gb with sim card. Which is the most people will pay for a tablet.
-option of 11" to 21" screen. It doesn't have to be 4k but 1080hd.

I can only see AMD doing something like this with their future apu.
I know Intel is more powerful than AMD but asking Intel to work with Nadia to build a chip? Good luck with that.
And Intel itself can't do game that well. "I could be wrong caz I never had a pc that without a video card."

Is AMD working their way to something like this? I hope so.
AMD is working on lower wattage CPU/apu? Yes
Will AMD apu be able play steam most game today without lag? It getting there.
Less than 1.5lb if Sony and apple can do less than 1 I don't see why not.
Water proof = fanless apu = low wattage? It getting there.

Am I the only one here who want this? I hope not.
So does AMD has some future? I hope so. Caz they are the only one out there who will can do this.

AMD today.
I can see why they are losing the war here. They haven't deliver a true APU. One that can truly replace the CPU gpu combo.
Their CPU is not as good as intel "what most people think".
Their video card supports used to suck. Once trust is lost it hard to restore even tho I hear they are improving.

Which all this = lost of money.

The things that are keeping AMD alive.
Game platform.
Yes the ps4, Xbox, and Wii u. No matter which one you buy. You will end up helping AMD.

Things that maybe helping AMD now and the future.
The Game platform.
Yes if game programmer are using AMD design codes to do ps4 and Xbox to harness the full AMD design chip power. Will that have a impact on the pc world?
 


What happened to the TelCo's is simple: You got a ton of low-cost options, they started price wars to try and gain customers, which eventually drove all of them into bankruptcy. The dominant players then brought all the pieces back up again. The ATT breakup basically gave us ATT + Verizon. All the other pieces have long since been acquired.

Same thing happened in the Airline industry: The low cost carriers competed themselves into bankrupcy, and we gained Southwest out of the deal.

In both cases: Costs to consumers ended up higher then they were before the breakup occurred in the first place.
 


That is not true at all. Back in the days of twisted pair POTS you had to pay for Long Distance Calls. Back in the 80's and 90's nothing unusual having $200 to $300/month phone bill. Today with VOIP $30/month flat rate with all the unlimited Long Distance you want..

I am lucky I have FIOS which provides Phone, 100 mb/s internet,, and CATV for $108/month with all taxes and charges included. Even have WiFi modem included so no wires to puters and cell phones. Phone has E-911 Phase-II which means if I dial 911 My GPS coordinates and address pop-up on the Dispatchers screen.

 


He is right! AMD downgraded from hold to SELL

http://www.thestreet.com/story/13019256/1/advanced-micro-devices-amd-downgraded-from-hold-to-sell.html
 


An advice: I wouldn't mix what LIsa Su said with what WCCFTECH says.
 


All the more reason to sell now. The stock is likely as high as it is going to be until they release new architectures in the 2016 timeframe. So a 9% bump is plenty of reason to sell. Not that hard to comprehend.
 


When it was shown that Carrizo is not the "real game changer" that some expect, and AMD numbers continue to fall, stock will fall again.
 


What he said makes lots of sense.

What doesn't make sense is your pretension AMD --> Intel.
 


So wait, you are saying NOT to sell despite the fact the stock won't get anymore expensive?

Wut?

Then again, considering I made 4/1 last time I brought AMD, I guess I'm clueless. I laughed when some people here started buying them up at $4/share (you know who you are).

You buy stock when you expect the stock to go up in price, You sell it when you expect the stock to go down in price. It's that simple. Holding a stock you expect to decline in price is idiotic.
 


Uhm... The stock market is 100% speculation. There's no "fact checking" only "fact reacting". If you're good at following trends you can actually speculate and make money.

You're going way off the tracks, tourist. I may not agree with gamerk on the current "sell/buy" status of AMD, but he's right about the way of handling the market.

Cheers!
 
Since tourist ask for facts, here go some:

AMD has spoken repeatedly about preserving its research and development budget, and cutting elsewhere when it announced cuts. The facts do not bear this out. In Q3, AMD's R&D budget was $278m, in Q4 $238m. When looking at the cost reduction AMD enjoyed in Q4, this is a very large proportion of that. By contrast, administration costs only went from $150m to $144m. The way AMD portrayed this, you would have thought the proportions were reversed. This is of great concern not only because of the implications for future development, but also because it makes one question the veracity of AMD's management team.
 


The engineers behind Bulldozer was not decent and fired. The x86 engineers were completely wrong regarding ARM and are the reason AMD is late to the party...
