Economics stuff wasn’t really what I have in mind to kickstart my blog again, but I thought (honestly) that this may at least get some readers to my blog.
AMD, the perennial underdog to giants Intel, just posted a straight 7th month loss, accumulating more than 1 billion dollars in losses and resulting in a change in leadership from Hector Ruiz to Dirk Meyer. Hector Ruiz was the one who led AMD to the heights of the Athlon first 64-bit, integrated-memory-controller fame, only to see it crumble now, because of a controversial, expensive buyout of graphics company ATI and the late release of new processors (Barcelona) which churn out lower-than-expected performance. Dirk Meyer sure do have an uphill task on his shoulders. But to any fanboy onlooker yearning for AMD to pick itself up again and provide real competition to Intel’s domination, the things AMD need to lookfor now cannot have been much clearer. As someone who hasn’t got a formal education in economics but is somewhat aware of its dynamics, I thought the following can help AMD get out of the blackhole it has gotten itself into.
