    i was trying to imagine what AMD would have done in it's weakened state in 2006 and without ATI under their wing. they could have left the desktop and server CPU market and (re)focused on the mobile segment of the market.

    Exactly. The purchase of ATI can be seen as a hail mary move. A knee jerk act of desperation by a company caught in a downward spiral. Without the profits of ATI to prop them up, would AMD have been forced to make smarter moves? Would they have achieved a better core business because life support wasn't available?

    Which means it's not.



    And don't use plural possessive pronouns with singular verbs, retards.
