AMD - Home of the world’s fastest GPU

Stumbled upon the following rather interesting piece of marketing madness on their site :





Real.

It's coming, iirc, AMD have stated it's the end of the road for high end cpu's from them and they will only be developing lower powered cpus/apus/mobile parts after they get their current projects out the door.

They also have gpus in most of the consoles too, so that would have kept the money rolling in as well.

This is true, AMD does want to reconsider 'the race' and move into mobile computing. Mercury News interview 2 months ago "We're at an inflection point ... We will all need to let go of the old 'AMD versus Intel' mind-set, because it won't be about that anymore."

However, for the longest time whether car sales or PC parts the mid-low range offerings are where the profit is at and flagship products have served to fuel that consumption through marketing. I am hesitant to believe AMD moving away from something as powerful as that, indeed more so if Intel starts shifting the mass perspective squarely into their corner.

Quite a risky venture that, they will need to work on publicity hard to make this work. Simply put, they cannot honestly expect their mid-low range sales to blossom when the masses see clear benchmark breaking dominance from the competition, especially if its in the form of advert comments and claims.
