To be honest, unless you have shares in AMD then you don't really have a right to listen or comment on the going on at a shareholders meeting.
Obviously the contents are public as AMD is a PLC but that's for all shareholders benefit. Not some jumped up kid on a forum to moan about.

AMD Shares are $11.63 Pre-market now, folks can grab a few hundred to thousand and happily listen to the calls. :D

There was s nothing AMD could possibly do that would cause Nvidia to collapse at this time. Even if they couldn't sell a card for a couple years they would survive.

On the other hand. Nvidia had the chance to twist the knife recently and potentially kill off at least AMDs GPU arm. But they got greedy and chose to twist the knife in their customers instead.

I can't remember who it was but a couple of years back, someone did say in copious amounts of lines that NVidia would be doomed in a couple of years time due to AMD releasing something or other and DX12 and Mantle and something else and something else etc. :D

But on a personal note, I really do hope they have 3 decent cards and the top does kick some TXPp butt at $600. It would be great to see NVidia getting some competition at the top again!

Biggest mistake I ever made was missing out on shares when they were $2.50. If not for my Mrs talking me out of it, I would have bought a couple of grands worth but I am not really a gambler either and having never bought shares in anything, it was an easy sway from the wife.

Don't we all. Suerly everyone but literal moronic fanboys who don't understand the world outside their tissue covered bedrooms would like to see a competitive market. Im probably considered an AMD fanboy but not to that level. I favour AMD not for a love of AMD but more a hated of Nvidia. I have no beef with Intel. Happily will continue buying Intel for gaming.

As it stand though I'm on course for a 1080Ti in H2 this year. So let's hope AMD give me an option to show them more support.

AMD's MI25 has the FP32 TFLOP performance already, and that's an enterprise card. The main thing is; has AMD managed to remove those bottlenecks that prevented previous GCN, and Fiji cards from fully saturating an using all their Stream Processors.

The Fury X had so much raw power, but that front end killed the card's performance. Clocked at 1450Mhz it matches a 2Ghz GTX 1080 in Firestrike's benchmarks :/

I hope they manage to pull out a Ryzen with Vega, 10% slower IPC but half the price would be amazing even.

Same here mate! I was in college eyeing that up so much, financial and business accounting lecturers talked me out of it, as Bulldozer and Excavator happened just before that, and Hawaii didn't stem the market share drop. So all their points were completely accurate and valid.
Just no one expected AMD to head hunt Keller, and Raja back, along with cleaning house so much under new Management from Dr.Su.

I've stated before though, I do own shares in AMD, and have also done so for NVIDIA and Intel. Just wish I got in 380 days ago, as I had a lot more disposable income, and would probably have bought a home in cash by now then :p Hindsight = 20/20 though.

But then if AMD folded you would have been even more annoyed. Always easy to make great investment in hindsight, not so easy in the future. People are always sure the stock value must go up, or it can't get any lower, just need to be patient, etc., etc.

If the AMD shares at $2.50 were such a bargain and high probability of growth then investments with more qualifications and knowledge than we have would have been buying up the stock and rising the prices. That didn't happen. The stock price rose when better confirmation of Ryzen was released, and now the stock is in a kind of of holding pattern waiting to see if the revenue and profit margins can actually increase. AMD is still in a very risky position mind. They have a lot of debt that needs servicing soon.
Also, check out Nvidia stick, it jumped near 30% with the Volta news. Analysts talking about another 25-30% to go. Just a few months back Nvidia's stock rose to $120 a share and then analysts said they were overvalued and should be more like $90, cue the shock drop. Nvidia's stock up 500% in the last few years.

At the end of the day you should never invest in a single companies shares except for fun. Invest in a diverse product over a long period to see safe and steady gains of 7% or more, preferably within a pension scheme so you can save 40% tax.

I did the same :( but i did not have the wife talking me out of it...was just myself as like you i am not a gambler ....but still the thought of £4000 worth of shares @ $2.50 would have been sweet

The only thing that seems to be left to announce is price and to how much power the spec we have seen (assuming it is not also fake news) translates to fps. We may get price and some AMD graphs showing best case scenarios at computex, but what really matters is independent reviews which we won't get until release.

Most people banging on about them releasing info have no intention of buying one anyway. Just here for the cheap digs ;)

While that is true up to a point, I always do my research when buying a GPU and I buy whatever satisfies my needs. I have no problem buying a Freesync screen and an AMD card if it suits me better than my current GSync setup. Loyal to no one, that's my motto ...

Really? Seems to be working just fine for them. Over 500 pages on this thread alone. All hype and speculation. EXACTLY what AMD want. Otherwise they would have released information. (And given all their arrows to Nvidia to act before they release).
Just be honest, you are being impatient.

I am impatient, I want to see what's what :)

Likewise, friends and family talked me out of it when shares were less than $2. Was going to put £500 in, but to be fair it did look like the company might go bust at the time which is why I shied away from doing it.
