Wanna, re “Jozef, the fact that Jerry Sanders can continue to come up with new metrics to define his success, and that he can continue to convince people that these metrics mean that AMD is doing a great job against their competitors, proves what a great salesman he is” Or does it prove what PT Barnum said many years ago, “ there’s a sucker born every minute”?

wbmw, AMD still needs to get to higher unit market share hopefully in areas with decent ASPs like mobile and server. But it seems that while AMD is making some progress in those areas, but lost in the desktop segment, which used to be AMD's strength. Joe

>Jozef, the fact that Jerry Sanders can continue to come up with new metrics to define his success, and that he can continue to convince people that these metrics mean that AMD is doing a great job against their competitors, proves what a great salesman he is. As others have mentioned, he will be first to step on the shoulders of Intel in order to shout his mighty accomplishments in dollar market share, and still conveniently ignore all the previous metrics he used to prove how great AMD has done in the past. These metrics included unit market share, revenues, and profits. Now that these things are in the dumps, Jerry invents dollar market share. And the AMDroids will buy right into it - just watch. AMD now has a new goal, and people will argue that this has been their goal all along. Well, I think what happened is that AMD was pursuing a strategy that was wonderful during boom times, and turned out to suck during bust times, so after a not-so-good period, the company changed strategies, and has done so pretty well. -Z
