How is AMD doing?

[The Smith]

AMD have had a mixed year financially but generally positive considering and that's reflected in their share price.

 

Stock price is as high as it has been all year. Was lowest $1.86 in Jan and now $8.90. Has been steadily on the rise since March so the shareholders should be a bit happier.

True. You can look at the graphs yourself here. Choose the 6months or 1year scale.

 

In terms of performance or sales numbers? Last I checked AMD was doing pretty nicely in the HPC community and they are making a ton on the low/mid range consumer market.

Yes. Currently, the top 3 super computers are based on AMD processors and the numbers seem impressive. If you compare the second and sixth rank, approximately twice as much performance is obtained with the Opteron 6-cores, with the same power consumption. The IBM Blue Gene solution is closer. But this is only to give you an idea. There are a ton of other factors that must be accounted. Maybe someone else could elaborate on this.

 

Edit: In the last weeks, a super computer has been deployed where I study. It's ranked 63th.

So AMD should have a long future ahead I hope.

Ya Nvidia right now has nothing really to show for themselves as far as video cards go. so ATI pretty much dominated x-mas video card season

 

 

Yep, AMD pretty much kicked nvidia in the ding-ding without a warning!
