Advanced Micro: Despite Meeting, The Wait for Details Continues

It's not necessary to know what Hector's plans for manufacturing, asset light, or asset smart are. Whatever it is, it will be a failure. Under Hector, everything fails to make a profit. Examples are the Personal Internet Communicator, the overly expensive purchase of ATI, the flash memory business, Alchemy MIPS, snd native quad-core. Only a clueless Hector would waste so much cash to buy ATI at too high a price. Now he says he is structuring AMD to make money without having to depend on continuous performance leadership over Intel. Impossible. What a joke! AMD Phenom and Barcelona are simply too far behind Intel's quad-core processors in frequency, IPC, and power consumption for AMD to succeed in any way. Many AMD executives have quit in the past year. It's time for Hector to get out and hand the reigns to someone else.
