AMD's Plan To Recover From Its Perfect Storm

Posted by kdawson on from the volatile-you-say dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TG Daily has an interesting write-up on AMD's big Q1 loss and how the company plans to get back into the black. AMD admitted that Q1 was a meltdown and not just a miss. Looks like cost cutting, including layoffs, may be on the way. But the company says it won't change its overal direction. The CEO Hector Ruiz is quoted as saying, 'We are not going to change our strategy because of one lousy quarter.'"

      They can't at the moment.

      They are too busy analyzing the benefits from switing to nVidia in their GPU division...

      I've lost track of the misery, heartbreak and suffering in this world that was caused by fallacious analogies.


      Isn't that sort of like counting your chickens before they hatch?
