Re: Selling systems would be a lost cause for AMD. For some companies, this is all they do, and they still can't make money at it. I think AMD should help, instead of competing with these guys. Please re-read my post more carefully. The last thing I think AMD should do is compete with any of its customer's AMD based products. But no one is offering any high-end AMD PCs or servers (with a very few exceptions). Where no AMD product has been permitted into a segment, which includes desktops, notebooks, and file servers, AMD would establish a benchmark. Other companies could point to that product, and its price, to support their own marketing. In the handful of cases where there is a product (1U servers), AMD could market that product and back it. By increasing the perceived value of the AMD based product (just look at what the same thing costs from AMD) it would make it easier, particularly for whitebox manufacturers, to include better components, and get higher prices, for their AMD based solutions.
