AMD quits

Also, AMD took advantage of the rumors driving stock buyers. They released more stock, allowing them to pay off enough of their outstanding debt to have until 2025 to pay it off!

Now that they're making a profit, that shouldn't be an issue. But Lisa Su bought then the breathing room 4 years back by making the right call,

AMD Mgmt and Su's expert decisions were a big part of me jumping in. Until she arrived and started making the right calls, AMD was quite the gamble.
 
To be fair it wasn't just the stock issuance, Su focused the company by cutting all the extraneous stuff they were doing. Previously they sold divisions because they needed the money. But here its to refocus the company to its two core businesses, cpus and gpus with cpus getting the priority. That and their gameplan of controlling the consoles due to their APUs, Mantle, the API ecosystem. I saw all that coming together... synergy lol.

AMD is dying a slow death, I don't care what anyone says, its not "if" but "when" its actually over for them. AMD should be focusing all of their efforts on their graphics division where they still actually have good products, R&D, market share, and profits. I hate to suggest that AMD should close up shop on their CPU business which would put a LOT of people out of a job, but as a company, there's just no way to turn this back around in my opinion with the funds and budget they're working with. Its a sinking ship, its just a matter of how long they want to delay the inevitable.

AMD(ATI) still has a chance to make it and still be very successful against Nvidia. AMD needs to put all their focus there.

I enjoyed it, was a good laugh. So many thought Intel was untouchable. However I never would have predicted AMD would be over $400 a share.

i told a buddy to put his spare cash into it when it was in the teens, he bought pot stocks instead...
unfortunately i had not spare money at that time, but at least i didnt loose any.

AMD used to cannibalize its successful divisions to support businesses it wanted to be in, but wasn't good at. They had a bunch of "failing upwards" CEO's there for awhile. Credit where its due, AMD has turned around since Lisa Su took over.

I only bought four shares when I could. But they were $45 bucks when I did. I"ll take a tenfold increase.
 
Hello. I'm from the future. I bring great tidings of 3D v-cache and chiplet CPU design. AMD has made a miraculous comeback, and the 9800X3D is considered the gaming chip to end all gaming chips.

Huzzah!!!

Seriously, Dr. Lisa Su is a freakin miracle worker. This is even better than the Athlon 64 and Athlon X2 days.

It's better than those days because AMD didn't do much follow-up afterwards. Compeletly f'd up the pipeline

AMD was at about $15/share when Ryzen launched in March 2017.

Only regret is that I did not buy more.
