AMD dead?

Reliable people, and they weren't particularly negative. But you could have said AMD would die at the end of 2007 just as well as at the end of 2008. One day it will happen. Almost no companies live forever. I would caution reading too much into the profit numbers. While they are almost certainly correct, accounting rules are subject to "management". Companies can have "kitchen sink" quarters where they "bring out their dead" -- projects and other losses that were not recognized/incorporated when they should have been. AMD may well die of a coup-de-grace from its' bankers/financiers. Whether it deserves it or not. So could Intel, depending on cash reserves. As for AMD health in the marketplace, I would look to #CPUs sold versus Intel. Who has lost more volume? ASP is tricky because it includes sector shifts. -- Robert R |

The German memory maker, Qimonda, has filed for bankruptcy protection. Intel is closing down 5 fabs, and laying off over 5000 people. AMD is laying off 1100 more people too. Circuit City was under bankruptcy protection but it's now being liquidated. Yousuf Khan |
