AMD almost worth a quarter of what it paid for ATI

[asim1999]

 

 

's been gloomy at the markets in the wake of the European economic crisis. This along with a revised quarterly outlook released by the company, hit AMD very hard over the past week. The AMD stock opened to a stock price of 1.87 down -0.09 or -4.59% at the time of writing this report, which sets the company's market capitalization at $1.53 billion. This is almost a quarter of what AMD paid to acquire ATI Technology, about a decade ago ($5.60 billion). Earlier this month, AMD took a steep fall of -15.59%, seeing its market cap drop by a quarter.

Intel is now worth $140.8 billion (92 times more), and NVIDIA $10.7 billion (7 times more). Among the issues affecting AMD are decline in PC sales and stiff competition. However, reasonably positive earnings put out by Intel disproves AMD's excuse that the market is to blame for bad performance, and the company could slide even further, hitting its all-time-low at the financial markets. The company will host an earnings call later today.

IMO this may signify the slow death of AMD

damn ...

its Zen or bust

Guess it make sense cos they only have low-end CPUs and that the Fury series was destroyed by the 980 Ti 

You might argue that watercooling will help with multi-GPU systems, but the tubes are hard to route due to being separate units and OCability is pretty much non-existent

just a bit scary? eh?

Goodbye cheap graphics cards that run well

Goodbye good CPUs that are pretty much garbage these days

 

Only hope now is Zen...

[Deletive]

I don't think they're slowly dying, They will get out of it or someone will save them. Currently they are extremely disorganized, that'll probably change in the future and their stuff isn't selling as well because of it.

64 PCI lanes and 16 cores, hoping it does well

Just like every time I play 21, bust.

AMD has no idea what they're doing and it's incredibly sad. They need to be bought out if there's any hope for the near future.

If Zen doesn't beat Intel... RIP AMD. Wouldn't it be amazing if AMD turned this around with affordable Zen that whooped Intel's ass, and 2nd Gen HBM cards that beat Nvidia. That would be amazing.

[AlwaysFSX]

..uck

Close but not quite.

[SuperPug]

To think that they considered buying Nvidia at the time of the ATI deal...

Lol, good one.

The HBM thing may not happen due to Nvidias HBM2 cards being announced at GTC 2016

Oop. Shit..

 

Better get that 390 before it's to late!

it would be amaZENg

they're very close to setting a new low price per share since Nov 2008

hbm was a flop as it is, the fury hardly performs better than the 390x in a few benchmarks. amd need to pull their finger out and make powerful yet efficient cpus, they might be making cpus and gpus for low end gaming but wheres the stuff for enthusiasts

We are not the majority market here for CPU's/APU's, AMD is just disorganized in the mobile market and business desktops are pretty much only Intel. 

 

Fury X wasn't destroyed, it competes with the 980ti, which last time I checked was what a lot of people want AMD to do which was compete with it's competition. Zen isn't going to beat Skylake by any large margins or at all, It's going to compete with it. 

Fury however is compelling value. Not everyone overclocks though.

HBM wasn't a big flop, it did what it needed to do replace GDDR5, it's compelling fury series is compelling value to some. 

People need to realize that they are working to improve the enthusiast lineup... We know that it is coming, can people stop bitching about it, it takes time to make these things. 

[Bob Jim]

Lol, good one.

AMD has best Nvidia in the past, and is currently beating them in everything but high end enthusiast stuff. R7 370>750Ti. R9 380>960. R9 390>970. R9 390X=980(lower price, scaled well less performance. 980 you pay slightly more for slightly more performance.) Fury>980(same thing but on AMD side, but Fury is not much more compared to performance increase.) 980Ti>Fury X.

As long as they're in the market there will still be competition which is great for consumers so I hope they'll survive

True, i do like the new strix fury

Nvidia is a juggernaut with money. AMD can't do shit for R&D, that's why the past few generations of cards have been jokes. Nvidia has been ahead for years now. The only reason AMD is undercutting Nvidia in the low-end segment is so they can move any cards. Not because they're good.

[VagabondWraith]

No way they're catching Intel. No way they're beating Nvidia. Their only hope is someone buying them out or they're in serious danger of dismantling. Only a miracle can save them now.
