AMD was nearly bankrupt for the first half of that. In my opinion it was a herculean feat that they survived at all.

- ErneX 2y agoAgree, not even at 2 billion market cap back then, now it’s almost 272 billion. 1st Ryzens were launched just 7 years ago.

- to11mtm 2y agoWhoever thought sticking with Bulldozer was a good idea while the GloFo thing was happening. The move towards more 'normal' process tech vs the tighter coupling when they owned the fabs led to probably at least a couple of missteps. Of course then all the other weirdness with Bulldozer... Jaguar saved their butts via the XB1/PS4 to a large extent, (and my Puma laptop was way nicer than the Atom laptops for it's day,) Bulldozer was a huge stumble for the company tho. I -will- say, around 2014-2015 I tossed together a 'low-end' 15h (Probably a Steamroller) and it was a competent machine, albeit relegated to 'retro-ish' steam games and DVR purposes. The Radeon core 3d performance at least did a good job of balancing real world performance compared to a Core i3
