It's true though. AMD needs to put less effort into flashy advertising and more effort into making CPUs that don't suck.

pretty dang funny, but now I want to know! It better not be something lame like a router. I cant figure out wtf is in the photo.
Because the intern that makes those Facebook posts is also the head of CPU R&D, right?

Their CPU's do not suck, Intel's are much better looking as they provide excellent performance at a marginal of the power draw.
Also, how is this flashy advertising? If anything AMD hasn't been about flashy anything since the Athlon64 days. Another point is the advertising team has zero to do with the development of the processor.
One of the reasons why AMD is taking it in the shorts. Their product lines are shoddy, their brand has taken a beating, and their offerings just aren't that great. If anything, there advertising has been dismal and the less eyeballs they get the worse their revenue streams will be. You can only sustain yourself on the fanboi train for so long.

Brand? When has AMD had a 'brand'? Outside of forums like these they are virtually unknown.
Intel has a brand, Budwieser has a brand. AMD has bupkiss!
And as for advertising......where?
AMD constantly moans about its lack of market share but it never puts any effort into marketing. I spent a few bucks on business ad in my local paper a few weeks ago. Thats more advertising and marketing than AMD have done in the past five years.
False. The money wasted on stupid advertising could be allocated to CPU R&D.
I think AMD's doing the right thing and not competing with Intel directly, instead concentrating efforts in areas where they could carve out their own niche. They just don't have the budget or resources to do it, Intel's R&D budget alone is bigger than AMD's entire revenue.
The x86 monopoly might be challenged instead by ARM in the low end, and maybe in the future it'll crawl its way to the mid range if things go well, at least in the market the open nature of the architecture and fierce competition keeps prices low and progress more rapid with so many players involved.
No company who's ever tried this has ever succeeded. They've all went bankrupt and under. Usually some other more successful company will buy them up and do nothing with them.I think AMD's doing the right thing and not competing with Intel directly, instead concentrating efforts in areas where they could carve out their own niche.
What the market needs is AMD to get their engineers working on something big. It really isn't AMD's fault for where they are now. Remember the Athlon XP and Athlon 64 were far more powerful then anything Intel had at the time, but could never penetrate a market dominated by Intel.The x86 monopoly might be challenged instead by ARM in the low end, and maybe in the future it'll crawl its way to the midrange if things go well, at least in the market the open nature of the architecture and fierce competition keeps prices low and progress more rapid with so many players involved.

The other was a WoW player who spent big bucks on a new rig with an 8 core AMD because his friends told him it would rock... only to find out that the AMD was about 40% slower than an i5 quad in WoW. In fact, it can't even beat an obsolete i5-750 in WoW.
I smell a troll. The 8320/8350 (and even the older bulldozer chips) bench nearly identically to an i73770k in WoW @ 1080p+ resolutions. Even at lower resolutions the average FPS is still too high to matter.
I dont post often... but I had to chime in to +1 this lol.I smell a troll
why do you think companies such as samsung do so well?

Haha! "Gaming combat" and "always ready for war" show they pretty much think people who play video games are all stupid teenage to 20-something boys who are the only ones who take gaming seriously enough to identify with that sort of statement.
