It is no secret that AMD has been in a hurt locker for some time, only reinforced recently when they made the list of “Ten Big Companies That Are Veering Toward Bankruptcy” on Yahoo Finance HERE. The understanding is that AMD needs to have a strong 4th quarter to keep their financial heart beating or Intel and NVIDIA may go unchallenged for a bit.
With that said it does not look good to see that reports show Intel has taken over 80 percent of the CPU market share (HERE) providing AMD with what can only be described as a CPU “Beat-down”. With their processors not helping AMD needs a stellar performance from their GPU side, ATI to keep abreast during these competitive times and initially this looked very possible. With NVIDIA playing stingy with high end parts ATI has had a chance to overtake a good portion of the GPU market topped off with great reviews of their newest 5870 and 5850 products, it looked like a possible light at the end of the tunnel. Is this light too far away to be helpful at this point? Quick visits to many etailers show these high demand products a little tough to get your hands on sometimes. Could there be a shortage on these items? If so will the older ATI products be enough to keep the vast amount of AMD employees employed?
