AMD: What Went Wrong?
Barence writes "In 2006, AMD could seemingly do no wrong. Its processors were the fastest in the PC market, annual revenue was up a record 91%, expansion into the graphics game had begun with the high-profile acquisition of ATI, and it was making exciting plans for a future where it looked like it could 'smash Intel's chip monopoly' for good. Now the company is fighting for its very survival. How did AMD end up surrendering such a advantageous position – and was it given an unfair shove on the way down?

Just do not fall into the trap of "If you cannot convince me it's true, then it is definitely false." No, the state is indeterminate to you at best. Jumping to conclusions is not limited to people that say things you don't like. If you want an example, try convincing someone that is delusional that their delusions are false and see what happens.
