One of the reasons AMD is given second class status (and P/E ratios) is that they don't know how to spin their news

No kidding. I listened to pretty much the whole conference, and it was clear that it was a bunch of extra dry engineers mumbling to a bunch of non-technoids. There was no life at all in the conference - they might as well have been talking about the details of election results in the state of Texas.

The only sign of spirit I saw was wrt TMTA - Jerry made a very good point that AMD is all about performance, and TMTA can't touch them on that front. Well said and well delivered, and dismiss a potential/new competitor as a niche player in one sentence.

If AMD needs a new spinmeister, don't look in this thread, most here have been in depression for months, beat themselves silly at every turn, masters of self-criticism in the quest being objective and presenting a balance view, this is unique on SI.

Don't think I don't want a fair analysis of AMD's business, AMD is on balance, still in a very good position to make money despite the worry warts.
