AMD looking shakier
I have commented before that consumers should hope for AMD to continue as a going concern so that Intel will have some competition. Unfortunately, AMD’s future is looking gloomier. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes writes:
So that leaves me worried about AMD’s future, and the effect that will have to the entire chip industry. Not because I have any affiliation with the company, and not because I buy AMD processors (I do like ATi graphics cards though, partly because I like the drivers, but to be honest I see 2008 being the year that I go back to nVIDIA) but because we need AMD to keep the pressure on Intel and to keep innovation going. I fear that without competition, the processor sector will start to stagnate and we’ll be plunged back to the dark days of the 486 when innovation crept forward at a snail’s pace.
