  22. Re:AMD is now a GPU company on Intel CPU Prices Stagnate As AMD Sales Decline · · Score: 1

    yes and they did not really do well with the 7xxx roll out of the video cards,
    they are really good on integer GPU programming but Nvidia beat them with FP GPU programming.
    if you want games perforce then it's down to NVidia
    if you want bitcoin then it's down to ATI video - though this is going be be hit BIG time by asic mining in the next 6 months - AMD need to take note on this as they will not get more sales on this unless someone can come up with a good Multiscaler general GPU programming solutions [and tasks]

    down at the bottom end it's all ARM chips [arm all the way down?] and they are moving up to take the middle ground...

    I suggest AMD look at making a CPU / GPU / RAM / single board very small form factor computer in a plug type thing.

    my work here is done
