Bet he didn't come cheap. Still, glad they splashed out the cash for somebody who's actually competent (we hope).
 
Yeah he seems preeeeeeetty competent.
 
Good luck Mr. Anderson, don't let AMD die!!
 
Mr Anderson, has entered the Matrix.
 
Would be nice to see a resurgence. Reality is I highly doubt it. So far in the hole at this point I don't think they can see daylight.
 
The new Iris Pro may light the fire under their ass like they have needed, or it may burn them to the ground, I hope the former as it will mean competition, but so far we have talk..... and talk is cheap.
