The post below sounds like a summary of all the terms in my senior year marketing class…..just like then, my reply is "Huh?"

AMD needs aspiration to strategically leverage a position in a turn-key and future-proof global marketplace, thereby utilizing the synergistic funtionalities inherent to a skills ecosystem that orchestrates and proceduralizes mission-critical marketecture. By incentivizing team players during deep dive endeavors and pathfinder projects, AMD also needs to frequently invoke a tactical paradigm shift that focuses on promulgating leading-edge methodologies. Although rallying the troops is often outsourced, a strong disintermediator can empower such a matrixed skill set, and can ramp-up the human capital, allowing the team to catch the moving train as it traverses the value stream. By garnering low-hanging fruit, AMD will ultimately break through the glass ceiling, and capitalize on recontextualization of robust enterprise key reinforcement areas such as recognizing the criticality of monetizing scalable fiscal metrics. Also, by mitigating show-stoppers, and focusing on the long pole in the tent, AMD will keep from getting behind the 8 ball. Finally, AMD should plan to hypertask, rack and stack responsibilities, and propagate enablers who can drill down into core competencies and bird dog soft money opportunities; all while simultaneously weaving myself a golden parachute and avoiding being surplussed.

ATI was a key aquisition. When ATI was trading it was a 25-30$ stock. Integration sometimes takes a little time, i believe the worst of it is over and it should get better from here. Wait until next quarter, they beat expectations this quarter but next quarter they should really blow past earnings.

To think AMD can quickly turn things around is absurd. Their management and people are not the best or brightest. They succeed if Intel gives them an opening to get into, otherwise, they are a 2nd-rate company that struggles most of the time. Their success is not of their own doing – it's dependent upon others' failure.

AMD, where is it going, how will it get there? How is ATI being incorporated into the core AMD? Any new ground breaking products on the horizon?

Great potential, lots of opportunities, must hurry and cross pollinate else the flower will dry on the vine, or auctioned off for pennies on the dollar!
