- gnode 7y agoIf their intention is to support AMD or reward their competitive technological investment, yet they don't need a new processor, then it would be more appropriate to buy AMD stock.
- nesadi 7y agoI'm not sure how buying AMD stock benefits AMD in any meaningful way.
- tomatocracy 7y agoI can think of a couple of indirect ways. 1. It pushes up the price which helps incentivize AMD executives and key employees who have an equity component to their remuneration 2. It makes it easier/cheaper for AMD to raise funding via equity or equity linked markets if they ever need to At scale, either or both of those could help them though sales might be better
- agumonkey 7y agoI didn't imagine donating 100$ or anything near the price of one of their CPU. It's just that they cracked through years of hard work and it's great IMO.
- BubRoss 7y agoAre you actually talking about giving away your money to a multi billion dollar public company? Buy some stock instead, don't just throw your money away. How would you even 'donate' to them?
- agumonkey 7y agoIt's just an emotion toward a company that made business in a way I value. Maybe buying stock is how you express "emotional" appreciation in the business world.
