EETimes is reporting that AMD along with several other tech firms are considering privatization.
That would take a lot of pressure off of AMD in terms of their fight with Intel. I have no idea how serious this is, but anything's possible.
This is probably in part due to starting a price war when 80-90% of your product is totally undercut by the competition.
Even with Woodcrest ramping faster int he server space, the volume is so much less that it won't make up for the P4 firesale.
I expect the losses to continue through Q207. It may be Q307 if they don't EOL NetBust REALLY SOON.

This price war is not stopping AMD from gaining share all over the world so it was a waste of money, first in that they made 55% less last quarter and second in that AMD still got Dell AND a LARGE chinese contract.
I guess when AMD posts their Q3 results i'll have something else to report. I think they have experienced moderate revenue growth but I can't say.

I actually expect AMD to post a profit AGAIN. They still got Dell and a few other LARGE lucrative deals in China. They are selling every chip they mae accordign to the reported shoratges.
Again, why is everything that is negative about Intel cause such rabid responses. I'm sorry their revenue and profits are down, BUT THEY ARE AND IT'S Shocked CPU NEWS.

Intel is on shaky ground right now because of their own actions. In now way did I imply that they would "run out of money" but they will lose a HEFTY part of their war chest by this time next year.

So, everybody take a cover! Mr. Matrix, the perfect has a vision and he strikes AGAIN!
Wow, that's was a blast from the past. Obviously the things necessary to stop them from losing money in Q1 were pretty much handled, though it is a little suspicious.
You should have fonud the quote where I said AMD should have stopped dropping prices. I had no idea they would actually cut it by 50-60%.
It does put them in a better price perf position though. It's a heavy cost.
Hey, wait..... What does your post have to do with AMD going private?
It has to do with you being always right. As you can read from the quotes you were predicting big earnings for AMD because of their insane contracts with China and the Dell deal. Also you predicted a very hard financial situation for Intel. Oh...I almost forgot, the MEGATASKERS success, Quad FX. There should be various mainboards starting from $120, remember?

I said POST A PROFIT, not big earnings. There you go reading things into my statements to get an laugh from the potential and existing Brood members.
Anger not the poet.
Rspond to the story or go elsewhere. To the other poster, I didn't look at the date, I gt it from AMD Zone this morning. I hadn't seen it and they didn't either.
It could be considered good evidence of privatization, but who knows. Either way as long as there's two CPU manufs we can still
Are you saying this when you are angry? I want to know because I want to learn how can I make you angry. It is very interesting and BTW don't get mad on me.
Next time try not to miss the link, because I thought you are making another great prediction.

That is an attempt to uphold the principles of the Free Market. If AMD has an X2/Opteron, they have the right to operate without ridiculous tactics from the "market leader" (read:used loosely).
