[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]Before some of you start to wealth envy, that salary seems about right for the job. A million isnt what it used to be. Yeh it would be nice to have that in the bank but really it I could go through it in a couple years at the rate everything is going. I just hope AMD gets its act together with Bulldozer and get competitive again.[/citation]
if you put 1 million into stocks, at about a 7% interest rate a year, which is about what stocks yield at minimum if you don't suck at playing the market, thats 70k on the interest alone. you could theoretically live your entire life off 1 million $ alone. [citation][nom]southernshark[/nom]Buying HPs line would be a disasterBuying Hp's line would be a disaster since it would make AMD a direct competitor with Dell, Lenova, Apple, Asus, Acer, etc..... That would be about as smart as 3DFX making its own chipset.[/citation]
yea, but tell me, what to most of those lines put into their own pcs? it sure as hell isnt intel.
what amd could do with the hp line, is use it as a platform to get amd out there. build monster systems, but don't sell it to make a profit, sell it to break even with a minimal profit. this way you are putting out pcs that are of amassing quality, but also cheap, and can get some bran recondition beyond the ati gpus.
it could be a good move, than when the brand recondition is up, sell off the pc devision for a sizable profit, as the pc was just to get brad recondition up, not to pull in the profit, though selling it off for more is a nice bouns.
basically he could pay himself all he wanted.
