I am simply amazed AMD's shareholders do not cry out for the termination of AMD's senior corporate executives and management. They couldn't do a better job of running AMD into the ground if they tried.
1. Ditch the idea of platform launches.
2. Ditch ideas of quad crossfire and multi gpu crap. It's never worked anyway.
3. Focus on building the best single slot, single gpu performance/mainstream graphics cards, and make them faster, less power hungry, and more quiet (ie the NVidia 8800GT).
4. Go back to the business plan ATI used when it released the 9700, 9800 series.
"Meanwhile, code-named ATI RV670 graphics chips were tested back in August, 2007, also faced delays due to AMD’s platform launch nature. As a consequence, graphics product group of AMD, the former ATI Technologies, further loses market and revenue share due to the decision."
"Under the management of Hector Ruiz and Dirk Meyer, graphics and multimedia business of ATI Technologies lost 40% of graphics products revenue in Q2 2007 compared to Q2 2006* (down from $325 million to $195 million) and also lost 37% of consumer electronics sales in Q2 2007 annually (down from $135 million to $85 million). Moreover, sales of AMD’s own computing solutions also declined in Q2 2007 by 10% annually from $1.22 billion to $1.098 billion in Q2 2007, which is pretty alarming, as a year ago AMD’s computing solutions revenues did not include sales of ATI’s chipsets.
