Analysts claim AMD will be bankrupt by 2020

"It notes that the ongoing corporate refresh cycle has boosted many companies' revenues but not really AMD's, as it is too dependent on the volatile consumer PC segment.

Since AMD spun off its manufacturing business into GlobalFoundries in 2009 and as
GlobalFoundries expands its client base, AMD is losing its ability to enjoy any preferential treatment with only two pure, foundry-model players remaining

The report said that AMD is engaged in a relentless diversification drive, pursuing "growth markets" without being able to create a stronghold in a specific one – apart from the semi-custom business in gaming.

Yet AMD's ability to capitalize it is grossly overestimated. Last quarter AMD hinted at virtual reality as a potential growth channel yet commercial applications of this technology are still years away from materializing. Even if it were, it is very unlikely that this could constitute a promising outlet for its GPU and CPU based semicustom business, the report said."
