Wow, $334 million just 3 years ago and now simply shutting it down? Did the people controlling AMD get changed out or did the same people who bought them also killed them?
- boulos 12y agoRory Read (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_Read http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_Read) was CEO when AMD acquired SeaMicro but left suddenly in October to Dell. Sadly for AMD, they're now on their 3rd CEO in just over four years.
- raverbashing 12y agoLooks like they're "Yahooing" until they hire someone who actually knows how to connect their computer to the projector. Marissa Mayer may have a lot of issues, but lack of will and technical knowledge is not one of them. To be fair Intel lost a lot of time and money with the GHz race as well
- pekk 12y ago> $334 million just 3 years ago and now simply shutting it down? Sunk cost. The question isn't how much it cost how recently, the question is how much burn they have before there is a chance of making money. If there is not much chance, why burn more resources on it?
