AMD management continues making bad decisions. For example, Athlons and Turions (including the forthcoming Turion Ultra) are not being updated to support SSE4a. It appears Athlons and Turions will continue to be sold for quite a long time, and will become incompatible with Phenom and quad-core Opteron which do support SSE4a. All of these will be sold to corporations which may demand compatibility as a requirement for purchase. So AMD has been promulgating SSE4a and certainly wants to drive its adoption, but will not even support it in all its processors sold to corporations. If I needed a notebook which supports AMD's SSE4a, where can I buy one?

Finally, AMD still has not fixed the disk controller problems in its southbridge chips (SB600 and SB700), which means engineering execution remains sub par.

Jerry Sanders says it's all about the product. He says if AMD doesn't have a great product, engineered properly, then AMD has no future. He goes on to say everybody should do everything they can so that AMD engineers are the most productive.

Here is the correct story. A couple of years ago, AMD led. Now AMD is trailing the competition in technology, performance, and power dissipation. At this time, AMD has been forced into the low-end computer market. The problem seems to be that AMD does not know how to improve its quad core processors to make them more competitive. What is holding back the clock rate? What is leading to more power dissipation? So far AMD has not demonstrated the engineering expertise to address these issues.

AMD management can't face up to its own problems and tries to put a positive spin on everything. Stop pretending there's nothing wrong. Look at the complacent Hector say "we're really thrilled..." Baloney!

Hector, if you are thrilled, why not show some insider buying like Jerry Sanders used to do?
