If ARM are going to be a long-term threat to Intels $200/chip market, would AMD not be the canary in the mine? Or does moving out of the fab business like AMD make that not-so?


Are people still buying AMD processors? My impression was that they really had collapsed over the last 2-3 years.

(Not that I believe ARM will win; x86 still has a huge compatibility advantage, and phone batteries get bigger every year)


Not hardly, especially not with AMD powering the current line up of gaming consoles.


Which is how many units per year, exactly? A piece of a declining business is a pretty thin reed to hang your future survival as a company on.
