> Why AMD is not all over this
AMD are barely treading water in the markets they already compete in. Both Intel (CPU) and NVIDIA (GPU) have stolen back enormous mind and market share [0]. I doubt they could afford the outlay of capital and research time to build something competitive. Maybe if they were in better shape financially a braver board/CEO could pivot them away from the CPU/GPU markets they've lost to something different. Their current road-map takes AMD through to 2016, after that who knows.
[0] NVIDIA's 9XX series GPUs have been incredibly aggressively priced and marketed. AMD effectively ceded the high end consumer (gaming etc) market since September last year. Gaming parts are big PR for both companies, so it's quite a bad sign IMO.
