Very informative video, enjoy!

Master Plan = Dropping to 15-20% of the dedicated GPU market.
Good history lesson though.
Their master plan was a fail so far. losing so much market share in the GPU and CPU market in a failed attempt to conquer your enemies at a later date with less resources is a hail mary.
since AMD have patented Zen Based APUs with Integrated FPGAs and HBM2 Memory... i bet that is going to be the "master plan".
A lot of people in the forums seem to be anti-AMD. Without competition, I'm sure that the Intel CPUs, technology wise, and price wise would look a lot different. I was Intel until the AMD 2500+ Barton. That was a great chip. For the most part I've been Intel since then. I'd love to see a third relevant competitor step up.
I think a lot of the "anti-AMD" crowd are referring to the CPUs. Those people have simply come to grips with knowing AMD is light years behind Intel CPUs right now. Many of us were AMD fans in the past, and would love to see them be competitive again. However reality sinks in that AMD has hyped and then failed delivered for over five years now.
On the GPU side of things, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful. Though AMD relaunching the 290/290X as the "new" 390 series and referring to Fury as an "overclocking monster" didn't help things

Seems fairly accurate to me as to whats happened so far. Was is really a master plan? lol More of a plan of desperation to save the company from disappearing.
One person at AMD said one time that the Fury X would be an "overclocker's dream". Although the cooling system on it certainly fit the bill, the card itself ultimately didn't.They claimed Fiji was/is an overclocking monster ?

“You’ll be able to overclock this thing like no tomorrow,” AMD CTO Joe Macri said at the card's unveiling. “This is an overclocker’s dream.”
yeah he had high hopes! 500W?! isn't the rad basically an h80i?
only way ive seen to get good or any results is with modded bios.
The cooling system on the Fury X is similar to the AIO that came on the 295X2. If it can cool two Hawaii GPUs, I'm sure it can handle an overclocked Fiji.yeah he had high hopes! 500W?! isn't the rad basically an h80i?
Its not how much it can cool, the architecture itself is not made for overclocking. If we look at the Nano, and look at a 10% overclock, the power consumption jumps up 30%, Once ya start seeing that, you either have to keep the chip really cool to keep the leakage levels down otherwise you run into a vicious cycle where no amount of additional power will over come the leakage. Its very close to that limit. Now with FuryX it was even worse where most FuryX's couldn't even be overclocked more than 10% without issues.
Their master plan was to corner the entire graphics card API market with Mantle and their semi custom design wins.
