AMD Optimizes Cost Structure to Enhance Competitiveness and Accelerate Growth

If you want them to go away, then I hope your happy with paying more for Intel. AMD I dont think is going anywhere, but its about time someone comes in and cleans up the crap. I Don't need them to whoop intel's ass like everyone else seems to want them to do. I just need them to be competitive, priced better, and have lower heat/energy. I myself will be getting me a new FX in the next 4 months.

I agree 100%. That's all I wanted from BD. Hopefully PD can deliver.

If you really wanted the most competitively priced product, you would get an i5-2500k. It is on par or better than the best FX-Series CPU in 90% of applications, and costs a decent amount less.

It is better in 100% of the applications that I use. That is why I'm going Ivy if PD is as disappointing as BD. I hope AMD can pull together, but all signs are pointing to that not being the case.

No surprises there. This is the way they've been moving for a while, regardless of what everyone else thinks or wants of them.

Oh, there will be desktop chips, but after Piledriver, they'll be APUs, and only APUs (aka Fusion technology). They won't be competing with Intel at the high end, stop hoping. As always, they'll be in the low-to-mid verging on mid-high performance (best case with overclocking) markets.

No, don't agree, it looks like AMD fixed Bulldozer and right now the so called Bulldozer II is approx: 10% to 15% performance increase vs. todays Bulldozer. If this is the case I can expect more performance improvements by the time Piledriver gets released in Q1 2012.
