All that validation stuff is only necessary if they actually want to sell it.

I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at that one !
It is the truth of that flippant comment that is the bain of AMD.
In order to do full system verification, every application/OS will have to undergo months and months of testing and evaluation - and clearly, there is nobody lining up - Oracle and Oracle customers included - to make these exhaustive, expensive tests.
Once again, AMD's concept of how this segment of the market works proves their incompetence.

So you think I work for AMD?

Sure do - you sound so naive just like the AMD spokesdorks.
And why else would you pump this perennial loser of a company if you didn't work there?
