Those are some seriously heavy losses, though I did note that they teamed up with NFME and stand to gain at least $300 million from that venture by early next year, so I guess that should offset the losses from this year, and no doubt give their Radeon Technologies division a nice boost to get the HBM2 and 400 series off the ground swiftly.

They'd have either gone under, been bought out or massively restructured

if Intel hadn't kept bailing them out to ensure they didn't get hit by monopoly charges.

That isn't how that works, at all. If AMD went bust through mismanagement, then Intel would not have to be concerned with monopoly laws. As to Intel "bailing" AMD out, please provide sources for that, because it sounds like a load of hot air.
 
amd have done a lot last year or so in terms of research and development. Hopefully they have learned enough in that time to be able to make competitive products. a revenue decrease in the next quarter does not automatically mean a bigger loss by the end of the year. it depends a lot on what they do with the revenue over q4.

i dont think $197 million is all that much money in the grand scheme of things. if they were reporting profits of 197m people would not be impressed at all. but a loss no matter how small is not good, hope they manage to at least balance out the books for q4
 
In some ways this makes me happy since AMD is garbage plus they just a bunch of thieves and I can't wait till they finally go under, yet it's never good to not have some sort of market competition.

Take your crap and negative views elsewhere, don't need it here. Nvidiots ain't welcome.

Wow some people have short memories it was only 10 years ago where it was the other way around AMD was the CPU to have & the intel was crap does anyone remember the P4's they were complete trash.

AMD have been literally right on the heels of Nvidia for years yet cost a lot less minus the Fury X of course.

AMD is far from Garbage, The 290X for example was a powerhouse even compared to the 780 Ti and even 980 at 4K in multi GPU configurations, Kaapstad can attest to that as he has 4 of each.

I've owned the following -

AMD

X1900XT
HD-2900XT
HD-4850
HD-4870
HD-4890
HD-6950
HD-6970 Crossfire-X
HD-6990
R9-290
R9-290X
R9-295X2
R9-Fury X

Nvidia

7600 GS
GTX 580
GTX 590
GTX 680
GTX 780 SLI
GTX 780 Ti
GTX 980
GTX 980Ti *Currently Using*
GTX Titan X

And you know what I've learned in all that time ? Neither are better at everything, You always get 1 side that is better at something and it's always 50/50 with both sides.

Plus remember, If AMD go down the crapper then Nvidia can start charging REALLY stupid high money for their cards.

For example, A 970 will start to be sold at 980 prices, A 980 at 980 Ti prices, A Titan X a good chunk higher, You see where this is going ?

Why would they do this ?

No competition and it would only get worse as time goes on and yearly performance increases would slow down to a crawl as there would be no real need to keep giving consumers big performance increases annually as there's no competition to drive innovation.

No competition equals REALLY bad for you and me i.e the consumer so being happy about this is extremely unwise, If anything you should be worried for the industry as your future GPU upgrade could potentially cost 50% more for exactly the same thing.

As for AMD being thieves, So so so wrong.

AMD were first to market with the following tech -

First to break 1GHZ barrier
1st 110nm GPU's
1st dual x86 CPU
Global Foundries was co-founded by ATI/AMD
1st company to ship GPU's with GDDR5
Developed HBM
1 of the reasons behind DX12 i.e Mantle

And there are many many more, AMD are far from "Thieves".

I can't tell if you're incredibly ignorant or just trolling... Either way, I suggest you pack your bags and leave this forum before you embarrass yourself any further.
 
Heyyo,

Ok I wanna put aside the whole amd vs nvidia thing for a second and say... DAYUM! I'm beyond jelly right meow... I'm still on GTX 680 2GB SLI lol. So many epic cards there... I'd love to own a Fury aircooled or a GTX 980 Ti right meow... 2560x1440 with adaptive sync seems like a distant dream to me... stupid real life stuff taking up all my funds! :P

Indeed. ATi and AMD have done a lot of good... but they just aren't the performance kings per-say. They're the cost effective kings (at least in most price brackets).

Right meow? The AMD R9 390 and R9 390X are more cost effective than the GTX 970 and GTX 980... at least in most parts of the world where AMD cards costs quite a bit less than the NVIDIA computerparts. There's only two price brackets where NVIDIA have the lead, which is the GTX 950 and the GTX 980 Ti.

Sure, they refreshed a refresh on some GPUs... but if you think about it? That's a testament to how good they are. They could be better, no doubt by running cooler and stuff and draw less power (which tbh only matters for overclocking).


I also believe that AMD should also add in a dummy-proof autosetting option for the VRR range on the freesync monitors. A popup that says "Detected monitor *insert make & model* do you want AMD Frame Rate Target Control to be set to *insert VRR max* to match monitor?"

It makes sense to me since tbh 144Hz for a 2560x1440 monitor is quite nuts for the time being anyways and would just make the GPU constantly push to 100% and just produce extra heat... but maybe it's just me since I hate screen tearing and have played games with VSYNC On forever. I'm quite happy with 60fps as long as it is smooth which is why I even drop graphical settings to keep my minimum fps always above 50 if I can so it rarely syncs down to 30Hz.
 
How bad things are for AMD is directly proportional to the number of free articles on AMD that SemiAccurate posts ;-)

Fingers crossed for Zen

I'd say you can be hopeful for Zen. I'm sure those in AMD are well aware of the performance level Zen needs to achieve, after all there's few who know the x86 market better.

It is the last chance for them really, if it's a failure, they're pretty much done. The CPU business certainly is, the GPU business would likely be bought out by someone.

Me, I've had AMD CPUs for nearly a decade now. I feel kind of dirty after upgrading to an i7-6700k recently as a result. :p
