AMD Confirms Commitment To x86
MrSeb writes with an excerpt from an Extreme Tech story on the recent wild speculation about AMD abandoning x86: "Recent subpar CPU launches and product cancellations have left AMD in an ugly position, but reports that the company is preparing to jettison its x86 business are greatly exaggerated and wildly off base. Yesterday, Mercury News ran a report on AMD's struggles to reinvent itself and included this quote from company spokesperson Mike Silverman: 'We're at an inflection point. We will all need to let go of the old 'AMD versus Intel' mind-set, because it won't be about that anymore.' When we contacted Silverman, he confirmed that the original statement has been taken somewhat out of context and provided additional clarification. 'AMD is a leader in x86 microprocessor design, and we remain committed to the x86 market. Our strategy is to accelerate our growth by taking advantage of our design capabilities to deliver a breadth of products that best align with broader industry shifts toward low power, emerging markets and the cloud.' The larger truth behind Silverman's statement is that no matter what AMD does, it's not going to be 'AMD versus Intel' anymore — it's going to be AMD vs. Qualcomm, TI, Nvidia, and Intel."
Listen, 10 years have done nothing for you, your still an immature little pos who likes to troll others to make yourself feel better about your worthless life. Your posts are stupid and redundant. Where was your dumb ass when x64 rolled out? You seriously forgot the incompatibilities? I guess working at your tier 1 support job lets you escalate it to your many superiors, but still how f'in dumb can you be? Nobody is talking about abandoning x64 and btw and the correct term is not x86_64 it's x64 for short, nobody uses x86_64 except for argument or research purposes.
This faggot keeps trailing my posts and prolly has mod points on his real account applying against me, if I cared I'd report abuse, but I don't.
Seriously dude, gtfo off slashdot and go catch some sunlight or something, calling you a loser would be an insult to the word.
