Elmer - re: "Poor pay, worthless options, impending layoffs, bungled manufacturing, incompetent management, oceans of red ink, forced relocation, low esteem, project cancelations, looming bankruptcy, on and on. No wonder they're jumping ship."

Other than that, things at AMD are pretty Peachy !

Elmer - RE: "layoffs"

Intel has their share of those.

"Poor pay"

How much of a difference, if any, is there between what Intel and AMD engineers make? (Not counting options.)

"bungled manufacturing"

What about Intel's "bungled" FLAW, err, erratum in mobile chips?

RE: "project cancelations"

"looming bankruptcy"
