Seemed like for a few years there they might almost gone out of business. I think consoles have helped keep them afloat in the bad years too.
Obviously Intel will respond to this (either via hardware or pricing) but the fact they even need to respond to something is a good thing. The only thing that has been eating Intel's lunch in recent years was mobile.
AMD will stay around. Next time their stock dips big one day, get some.
That and their desktop GPUs. Their ATI acquisition turned out to be pretty vital.
I feel like they were doing well until they bought ATI. Then they ran out of cash, less R&D money, and then they had to spin their fab to global foundry.
Now it seems like CPU is slowing down while GPU is growing especially in scientific stuff.
Super glad they're decent now, hopefully good. I don't want to deal with Intel monopoly.
