Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

[HailMary]

It seems to me that the "Netburst" core is too complex, requiring too many engineers, too long of a schedule, and more areas where things could go wrong.

Careful planning is very important in the CPU business. A few poor choices early on can lead to long term trouble, even with the best design, product, manufacturing, and marketing teams in the world. To me, as an outsider, it looks like management is doing a poor job.

I used to say the same about AMD, but I think management has improved there over the years.

Thanks for your insightful and honest post.
