it's a wonder cuts haven't taken place earlier. I couldn't agree more. How is it that Intel made massive cuts, but AMD did not? Answer: AMD's unrealistic optimism about the future. Same as the answer to this question: "Why did AMD pay $5.8 billion for ATI?" This is a strategic move not one based on any quarter. Then why did they pick this moment to do it, and not telegraph the move earlier? Like Intel did . . . . Most likely because things deteriorated vs. what they expected . . . because of AMD's unrealistic optimism about the future
