The ad sucked! Face it clark, unmemorable as background noise. AMD needs some crazy sh1t since they can't afford to run a billion ads like intel for the stuff to sink into your brain.. They need to win whatever the academy award for TV ads is so they get others to play it for free.

I agree! AMD needs to come out firing on all cylinders. I would put as much pizazz as possible into the advertisement. Try to appeal to as large an audience as possible. Include a little bit of everything, make the advertisement (commercial) JUMP OUT AT YOU & GRAB YOU!

High flying F-18's, Snow Boarders catching 50' of air, skateboarders doing 360's, Lance Armstrong leaving people 2+ minutes behind in the Tour de France, etc. I mean, seriously, add a snapshot of like 20 good looking people at the beach having a great time watching a few people catch some killer waves in Hawaii. Come on AMD, I'm in Sales, not Marketing & I could do better than this commercial.

SLAP us in the face with something. Our sales , don't say you can't afford to do a REAL commercial.


 
Everyone thinks AMD problems are so simply and they know best etc. Give them a break, there only going up against one of the biggest companys of all time.

Doesn't AMD sponsor Lance Armstrong's team in the Tour de France or something?

Anyway, that ad struck me as being a weird combination of faux tech demo and car ad. They really ought to hire on whichever firm does Apple's ads instead.

Picturing Hector makes you lose your urge for anything. The girls can just have a larger toy that says AMD ME BECAUSE SIZE MATTERS.
