*copy and pastes quote into Outlook appointment for May 10th, 2008.*
not sure why I'm bothering... I'm sure you'll be gone by then.
i put that date in my outlook calendar too...
remember when 3DFX bought out STB... and was out of business not long after... Nvidia was pressuring them hard with prices and as uperior product.... sounds similar
Uh... So where is it pretty much given on this board? Yeah i've seen people concerned with the way things are going for AMD on this forum but i havn't seen anyone as sceptical as you seem to be. I'm of the opinion people are optimistic about what AMD can bring to the table i.e. the barcelona chip and the new r600 all be it slightly anxious because people havn't seen any benchies yet and do not know what to expect. The stock happenings at AMD concerns poeople but i still do not believe people think AMD will be out of business anytime soon.
Ok here is a real possible scenario that will doom AMD to 3DFX purgatory
1. R600 is slower and hotter than G80 and looses
2. K10 is slower than Conroe
3. Intel pushed out Penryn early with higher clocks and 15% cheaper than current C2D
4. AMD has low yields with k10
5. DELL goes back to all INTEL
6. AMD out of business May 10 2008

Dammit MP, yout stole my line...
@poop, I'd tell you when they will close up shop, but you won't be around to hear about it.
As a side note, I heard that AMD might be bought out. I don't think that counts as them going out of business. The investors who buy them out will keep it going, the only thing that changes is whos name is on the top floor.

Tell me where it is pretty much given on this board that AMD are going out of business...?
As too your list of thing that can happen are all ifs and buts, i find it very unlikely everyone of them scenario's are going to come true. AMd won't bring the Barcelona to the market until its faster then the conroe there wouldn't be much point. Even if the things u listed above do in the unlikely event happen amd still have other sectors like the mobile business, handheld gaming their entering to keep them going and other segments. Hah maybe i'm wrong, i hope not though i'm about to put some share into amd soon
ha why the feck am i even debating this crap :?

7. Without competition keeping them honest, Intel takes advantage of their new monopoly position by raising prices. CPU innovation begins to slow down due to lack of pressure from competitors.
Yeah, sounds great! Monopolies rock! Die AMD, die!
Look, AMD's processors may be second rate right now, but that's no reason to hope they go out of business.

speculating... IF amd somehow does go under in the next few years, bankruptcy, liquidating everything, whatever else... and noone buys them either... ...what will then happen with intel?... at that point they would be close enough to a monopoly in this market, to actually be a monopoly then... they would have virtually all the market share in the cpu segment... there wouldnt be really any high end gpu releases anymore, not competetively priced anyhow... stagnation would definetly happen more... ...for amd, the worst that is likely to happen is a loss in market share again, and anything else within those lines.
