Posted July 11, 2015 These news are really disconcerning. Well, pretty much everyone saw this coming. AMD is in a rut so deep that it's borderline impossible to recover from it, and it breaks my heart to say that. I've had discussions with people that represent companies very close to AMD and even they agree that the only way to ensure AMD's presence in the market is a partial takeover. By partial, I mean the majority of the company being bought by a single entity that is willing to spend a lot of dem American dollars. Which is very, very unlikely. I'm actually with @patrickjp93 on the fact that keeping AMD around struggling is more detrimental than AMD going belly up. The IP that AMD holds would benefit Intel way more than AMD in itself could imagine. If Zen doesn't deliver at all, it's an inevitability just waiting to happen. No one can deny that possibility. Everyone yelling that there'd be a monopoly after AMD's demise either on the GPU or CPU side are pretty damn wrong. Truth be told, in my opinion, yes there might be a monopoly in the GPU market if Intel actually would acquire ATi's IP and developed upon that. The HPC market would in a few years be pretty much dominated by Intel, which is the market that truly matters. We all need to remember, that it's not a monopoly if you are competitive enough to drive everyone else in the corner just for them to call it quits. !Off-Topic! But hey, @zMeul you really need to diversify your posts. Don't just focus on AMD and their shortcomings. It's really hard to consider your opinions objectively if you're always on the other end of the stick. Everyone knows where my loyalty lies, but I'm not an idiot that believes that AMD could crawl out of the hole they've dug themselves on their own accord. Just stop already.

Posted July 11, 2015 AMD doesn't dig too much, but this time their hole crossed with Rocksteady's and they fell into the Bat Cave.

I wouldn't do that even if I had the money, and I don't - if I did, I would've bought ATi from them, only this is the news, I didn't made it up - AMD has a clear tendency of self-flagellation I also reported on Intel's 10nm process miss/delay and Intel losing execs (repost tho) - so .. where are my loyalties lying?!

Posted July 11, 2015 At this point, AMD has to be looking for a buyer. They really need a larger company to help them keep up with their competition. They've done okay on their own, but I don't know how much longer they can keep it up. i7 3820 -- 8 GB RAM -- Zotac GTX 970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 11, 2015 While I agree that Intel would make GPUs for HPC, I question if they'll be able to compete in the consumer space with only cut-down chips.It wouldn't just be cut down chips. It would sell those that ran hotter than average or used more electricity than average and give the cream (at a premium) to HPC and sell the rest to professionals and consumers. Nvidia and AMD do the same already. Software Engineer for Suncorp (Australia), Computer Tech Enthusiast, Miami University Graduate, Nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 11, 2015 well exactly, can you sue someone over what is basically guesswork and is PRESENTED as such?It's not presented as guesswork. It's a detailed report of expected income based on a set of assumptions applying the science of economics. The short of it is AMD could be accused of purposely leaving out logical assumptions to avoid the negatives in their report. Projections are far less guesswork than you might think. They're always based in sound economic theory and science. That said, you can manipulate the end result of the equations by using invalid inputs or foregoing the use of less than convenient inputs.
