AMD survived bulldozer. They survived not because of the quality of their chips, but because there exists a sizable x86 market that is literally anything except Intel.

- ChuckNorris89 4y agoBecause, before the mobile explosion, we had the PC industry explosion which created a huge demand for X86 PCs and Macs in every home. And even after the mobile revolution shrank the demand for X86 PCs, the cloud revolution further entrched X86 in the cloud.
