This is a very scary image for AMD:

Their revenue is falling, and falling consistently.
They pretty much lost as a CPU manufactured in every area - desktop, laptop, tablet, phone.
Their only option at the moment is to keep making the best damn APUs and GPUs, and try to invent something new. I wish they came out with a 1000-core CPU or something.
- cinquemb 13y agoEasier said than done, but more or less agree with your conclusion (not the 1000-core CPU part though). They could gut out to become profitable, and go long on current fringe market things that could be the future. One interesting market off the top of my head is 3d printing. Would be pretty interesting to have a CPU one could print out to go with their 3d printed A-15's from Defense Distributed… sudo headshot :P
- ars 13y agoThat revenue chart is too short term to learn anything from.
- lucian1900 13y agoUnified CPU and GPU memory is an awesome concept that game developers in particular love (but not just them). We'll see if unified memory in both the next-gen consoles will spur something interesting in PCs. I'm not holding my breath though, since Intel have no interesting GPU story.
- macspoofing 13y agoIt makes a lot of sense for laptops and tablets and console-like PCs (e.g. SteamBox). There may be a market there for AMD.
- lucian1900 13y agoBut in the former and latter, people are likely to wish for Intel CPUs instead (even if they don't actually need them).
