John Fruehe (JF-AMD) no longer with AMD

[Medu]

If he was making up his wild BD predictions, he should be gone for good.

If he was actually being fed this info from the inside as a marketing campaign, then he should out those people and I will have a tad more respect.

I don't think this is flaming, this is a mature conversation as to what happened up to the BD launch. We were all questioning his info, and I personally think that what he did was worse than anything that anyone affiliated with a brand has done in the VC&G forum.

AMD set targets. PR were told those targets. JF-AMD passed on those targets. AMD missed the targets by a wide margin. Everyone shoots the messenger.

Hopefully John Fruehe will find a company with a product that is an easier sell than an AMD branded CPU!

Established by whom?
That is a tall order to think he was fed inaccurate info from his bosses.

The general concensus of the reasonable folks here in the forums. At least the ones that didn't want his head on a spit.

At least John had decency to tell you who he was and who he worked for.

^ this.
