AMD Could be Profitable in 2 Years

We held investor meetings with Dr. Lisa Su, AMD’s (ticker: AMD ) president and chief executive. After two years of re-focusing development efforts around PC computing, discrete graphics, server, and semi-custom, the company just delivered solid quarter-on-quarter growth in the third quarter, driven by growth in all of its major segments.

So, it seems like AMD isn't sucking as much as it did before :)

 

The team believes that it’s hit a trough in market share losses in computing and graphics. Additionally, with what appears to be a solid roadmap of new products tiered up for 2016-2017

 

So it looks like it isn't all "doom and gloom" for AMD.

 

 

Overall, nothing much has changed, it's basically "Zen or bust" but seeing news like this gives me new hope for AMD.

"Zen or bust" 

Yeah that part is really all that matters, as zen will either save them or destroy them.

I've actually never seen an amd ad in my life, to the point that I thought they never had any significant ad campaigns

Have you seen AMD's youtube channel? It's got multiple attack ads clearly directed at nvidia, lol

I meant mainstream, not youtube channels that they made, and I'm aware amd fuels the flame war fires which is why I dislike them as a company.

Yeah, I find their attack ads very "immature" just like how politicians use it.

I don't really see any mainstream ads for either nvidia or amd...maybe cause i dont watch tv or something, idk

These comments are really dumb and shouldn't be apart of the conversation in general.

OT: I could see them being profitable in 2 year definitely if they get their server market together.

I'm sorry but there is no way that zen will be great enough to make people sell their perfectly good CPU for a new zen CPU. A new processor doesn't give you the same bang for your buck that a gpu does. They would only capture some people upgrading from 7-8 year old CPUs. My 2500k still has a bunch of life before I will upgrade.

So you're saying that everyone shares your mindset on this topic and no one could need a better CPU than a i5 2500k, cool nice to know, by that logic everyone should by an i3 and a GTX 980 because no way you would ever need more CPU power.

Now somebody will make a joke that they can pack enough heat to make a nuclear bomb. That is one of the most profitable sectors however, AMD should just do that.
