AMD: What Went Wrong?

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday February 18, 2012 @06:22AM from the not-enough-cowbell dept.

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? This article has plotted AMD's decline, including the botched processor launches, the anti-competitive attacks from Intel and years of boardroom unrest."

Only the geeks still worship pc type computers
Most of us moved on to smartphones and tablets. And a MacBook if we feel like splurging for a new computer
Mac sales are growing at double digit rates and pc sales declining
