AMD promoting someone from the inside... :fear: What universe am I in?!
For the most part when AMD has been marketing, their end result has been really lack luster.
They have to do both if they are going to go through with a campaign rather than do an EA.
But we all know EA are about marketing when something is going to be a flop.
