AMD: Still in the Game

Final Words

Concluding an article like this is very difficult, mainly because we're still waiting for Barcelona to launch and yet we have now talked about its next two successors. AMD insists that despite Barcelona's delays, its future roadmap will not change. If AMD is able to pull off a Shanghai launch in the second half of 2008, followed by a first half 2009 launch of Bulldozer and Bobcat, we will be quite impressed.



We're sticking to our original take on AMD, it definitely has the roadmap to compete, but we really need to start seeing some actions soon in order to back it up. Roadmaps alone don't make money, as pretty as they may be. And while we hardly ever focus on the financial side of the companies we cover, we can't help but worry for AMD's future given the troubles it has been having recently.

We just want to see this roadmap executed, as the competition will do wonders for the industry.
