aah so i was right, from now on AMD will be ``Toy Cards`` that will be next years AMD 400X.
The pic is GTX 680.
"they are" in context here means "if they can". And they made profit recently so I win anyway.
GG no takebacksies.

They made a "profit" for one quarter, overshadowed by losses for the other 3, so on a full year they made a loss. Thats how accounting actually works.
Why are you so ardently defending AMD? If you honestly think they are doing well, you need to re-educate yourself, as they are just cutting staff and R&D has been slashed yet again and this doesn't bode well for the future.
I would lend you a spade, but I see you brought your own
"ardently defending" PROPER LOL
You're blind.
Actually, quite the opposite and I can see pretty clearly that AMD need a cash injection. Year on year losses doesn't bode well for a decent future and when you look at the competition, it is a tough market to compete in.
And I have only to look at your posting history to see what your stance is. This thread is no different to any other thread where you jump to the defence of AMD.
Pay off some debts?
Not have to sell expensive to manufacture cards at razor margins to compete with mid range chips?
Buy back their Texas HQ that they had to sell off for 164 million dollars to raise cash?
Doctor Humbug, please report to the burns ward at the double, Doctor Humbug to the burns ward.
Let him fry ^^^^^
Not really relevant, maybe $3bn on developing the next GPU architecture, thats what i'm talking about.

No revenue?
You do realise that AMD's revenue is actually 20-30% higher that nvidias right?
The difference is that nvidia make a profit and funnel some of that back in to R&D, AMD hire an ever increasing army of forum warriors and PR mouthpieces and wonder why they are consistently in the red
I hope it does go through, ever escalating nvidia prices due to a total lack of meaningful competition is not good for my whingeometer
AMD only have about $2.8bn in assets and no profit, so no way anyone is going to invest $19bn, you could actually buy AMD for $4bn based off their current balance sheet
