I think AMD will pull out of its nose dive but it will never be 2005 again.
I think the first step is getting rid of Hector Ruiz. Of course, I also think the only reason they haven't done so, so far, is because they don't have the cash. Most CEO's these days get a roughly $500 million payout, when they're fired.
Ouch, only ~39,000 Barcelonas shipped in Q3 (page 13), and none of those will ever see use, as they can't pass qualification. Also note that the desktop market is still bringing in the most money. I wonder if they still think that Hector's idea to abandon the desktop market 2 years ago (not stop selling, just stop spending money developing for it) was a good idea?
Anyone have any idea what S1 and FS1 stands for, on page 22? Also, what is DASH 1.0 and TPM, on page 23?
