Does anyone here also think that AMD shot themselves in the foot with that decision?
Because the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that it was a crucial mistake, and moving away from it (monolithic design) could have single handedly alleviate most if not all the problems that AMD has suffered from in the last six months - the delays and setbacks, the manufacturing problems, cost efficiency, and probably a lot more.
I was a mistake, and I think they (AMD) are paying the price now.
If you have the resources to back up your desire to create the 'elegant' product, then ok. If you have the technological advantage (in the design/architecture), as in enough of it to pool ahead giving your disadvantage at the manufacturing end, by all means. If you have the technological advantage (manufacturing capabilities) to pool it off , go for it.
But if you don?t, then what the hell are you thinking!?
Like most people here I'm an enthusiast, I want the 'elegant' product, but not at the price of seeing AMD go down.
Am I the only one here that blames monolithic design as the source of most AMD current problems?
