AMD $4.26 ...

One reason: The Global Foundry. The spin off of fabrication side of the company, as well as the capital injection from the middle east partners pretty much erase the doubt of AMD going belly up in the short term.

However whether AMD can really compete with Intel in the market remains to be seen.

I dunno about there being 'no doubt' that they can compete... What I do know is that we should all HOPE that they can continue to compete. A world with Intel having complete monopoly in the CPU market is not one in which I would want to purchase a computer....

There is if AMD doesn't get to the black. Cash infusions only delay going belly up. Only posting profits will ahow for a good status.

That may be soon or it may take a bit as it will have to get used to the GF. As I have said before the GF might cause AMDs CPUs to be a bit more expensive. So it would take more sales to even out and more to get to a profit.

I think I might cry him a river.

Man what I could do with 12.6 million. Live forever.

So you own 2% of all AMD common stock? Is that what you are insinuating? Just wondering, if so hey guys we have a billionaire on the message board.
If I misread your post, then I apologize, if not maybe you should see a shrink about your delusions of grandeur.

I don't think he'd be a billionaire if he owns 2% of AMD stock.

This is AMD we're talking about here.

If we were talking about Microsoft then yes he would be a Billionaire.

Maybe they should make a PCIe x1 Antivirus Processing Unit, I think they could make a bit more money if they did that since it would free up CPU power.

2% of AMD common stock would be 12.18 million shares. You are correct about being millions, not billions, but I do not think anyone with approximately $50,000,000 in AMD stock alone would be spending their time posting on this page. More likely he/she would be looking for ways to get a better return on their capital. At least most intelligent investors with that kind of money to invest would be meeting with analysts, that is if they have common sense as well as common stock.
I stand corrected.

As the report I linked to stated, not clear exactly how much of the marketshare increase is due to the P2 and how much is due to inventory clearance. But yes the price reductions by both Intel and AMD are great for us consumers .

Unfortunately, as evidenced by the fact that Intel had a better-than-expected profitable Q1, whereas AMD had another huge loss in Q1, it seems that Intels' pricing structure actually makes sense, whereas AMD's does not. Unless a rising economy floats both boats, another cash infusion by the UAE will be required early next year, particularly when it appears that AMD is going to lose significant server marketshare, which as we all know is hugely profitable with high margins.

AMD is back in the game now that it has a platform. The aquisition of ATI is just starting to pay off. They are selling the crap outta chipsets, Nvidia isnt, and Nvidia isnt allowed to make chipsets for i7.
I think Nvidia is about to hit rock bottom. Better buy VIA now while you still can.

Jeez Gamerk ... don't tell people about your stock portfolio ... man you will have every blowfly PM'ing you over crap.

ask random to delete it for you ...

Until you ditch the stock your a "real" AMD Fanboy now ... LOL !!

P.S. Watch NV tank now the secrets out about GT300 - the project is way behind ... 2010 now.

Till then ... watch out for some more relabeling / rebadging.

The 4770 will mash their margins on the old G92 sales too ...

Bummer eh?

NVHateboi out !

AMD have dropped 25c today already, compared to nvidia's 71c and intels 51c.

Hey guess what, everyone is dropping today. If Nvidia lose much more they might be able to break into the nasdaq's top 10 losers today.

No it is actually 5% amd v 7% nv v 3% intel

Edit now its 8.5 v 8 v 3.5, but it was 5v7v3 when i posted earlier.
