    The reason is that while all of them are affected by the macroeconomic environment, AMD is special because nobody trusts its management anymore. A lot of senior people have left and now there's this:

    Read is the CEO -- strategy is basically his job. The CFO left and the CEO doesn't inspire confidence. AMD still has a ton of very valuable IP and many valuable employees, but with that kind of management, it just doesn't look good.

    you bring other guys, when you are not that trusted anymore or you want give credibility to the plan that is going to unfold

    for me, most of the pc industry is badly run.

    To downgrade envy to the pavilion level? brand suicide

    Compete in razor thin margins? Company suicide

    Extremely fragmented product lines? Budget suicide

    and there are a lot of other stupid decisions that make me think what went wrong and what couldve been if they were actually competent for the most part
