To be expected though, they bought ATI with money they did not have and their quad core Barcelona has been delayed a few times, it is out now and actually working so things should improve. Their 3 chips graphics card is sh*te though, and I seen the 9 series TRI sli results and tbh they are not that much better then the same 8 series, an increase but not massive. To early for those cards, role on actual cores...

Not unexpected, and partially on the road to selling themselves to IBM if that is their aim as ive seen suggested elsewhere...

not beyond the bounds of possibility, and with IBMs 24nm tech being ready for market, and the fact they are reporting that they have working sub-20nm technology in the pipeline it would be interesting to say the least.
