Scumbria, Re: "If you are basing your investment decisions on the concept that AMD can not design competitive microprocessors, you are making a serious mistake."

I would base my investment decision on a company's ability to design+manufacture+market+sell the product and on their vision. And I wouldn't isolate the engineering phase to just design. Designing the chip to be efficiently manufactured is something AMD does not do well. AMD must take a lot of short-cuts in their design phase, which shows up as problems during their manufacturing. Not worrying about high-yields, electromigration, Hot-e, Self-heating, etc. problems would make your design a lot simpler, so less designers would be needed.

That would be good for getting competitive samples out, but possibly not good enough to help their bottom line.
