[Guru3d]AMD 'Not Competing with Intel Anymore'-"might halt high-end processors"

[LiV3 WiR3]

it happened a couple of days ago but wasn't posted here so i thought i should share this;

Yesterday a big discussion already started in our forums after the an AMD spokesman made a remarkable remark.
"We're at an inflection point," said AMD spokesman Mike Silverman, according to a Mercury News report. "We will all need to let go of the old 'AMD versus Intel' mindset, because it won't be about that anymore."

Speculations are that AMD simply might halt high-end processors and focus more on mobile parts like the current Llano processors. We can already see processor prices rise ...

If anything, 2011, with more than half a year of lacking an actual CEO, was a clear symptom that Advanced Micro Devices had to do something, and soon. The company has a new leader now and, sure enough, the man took some fairly drastic measures, and that includes more than this latest change in direction, as well as a branded RAM project.

The workforce also suffered, especially the PR and marketing departments (AMD axed large portions of each as part of its plan to cut total worldwide employee count by 10%).
The complicated thing about the focus on mobile is that ARM already has that well enough in hand, and NVIDIA just launched the Kal-El too. AMD may just be exchanging one headache for another with this.

It was expected because the way they had changed their statements (first statement they made after BD release).
Their WAS a clear call that "we didn't made Bulldozer to compete Intel or their Sandy Bridge".

Haha AMD...

Well its better if they concentrate on GPU or Mobile Processors only. Competing all out in all competitions will make them jack of all trades, master of none. But to become Master of something, they must leave behind one of the markets, in this case, Desktop Processor market.
