AMD has been teetering on the edge of bankruptcy for quite awhile now. It's unclear how much rope they have left.
- trome 10y agoJust enough to keep going, but not enough to mass produce new chips without an order and cash from an OEM in hand.
- HugoDaniel 10y agoWhat about their GPU business ? And the deals with this gen consoles and next gen consoles (they sport AMD APU's).
- theandrewbailey 10y agoI've always wondered how much that brought in, and how much they depended on it. AMD (ATI) have been in every Nintendo console since Gamecube until now (but not Switch), and they also were in the Xbox 360.
- Tuna-Fish 10y ago> AMD has been teetering on the edge of bankruptcy for quite awhile now. It's unclear how much rope they have left. They have actually dug themselves out of that hole over the past two years or so. Their engineers are good, but their CFO is a wizard. Somehow he managed to take a company with bad short-term prospects and very questionable long-term ones that was up to it's eyeballs in very expensive short term debt and convert that into cheap long-term debt. Then once things started going better for them and the stock started going up, they have been turning their debt into equity pretty much as soon as possible. AMD currently is in no risk of bankruptcy: http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AMD-CFO-Commentary-Slides-Q3-16-page-011-840x630.jpg http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AMD-CFO-C...
