Oh spare me. You used a lot of words to ask "how does a company get big and successful?" and I gave you an answer in kind. Mainly because I'm sick to death of pathetic fanboy drivel like yours that continually attempts to paint AMD as the poor underdog, that just needs people to be understanding of its failures and buy its products, and all of a sudden it will git gud and be able to compete.
AMD is a company. It exists to make money. It does not give a flying fuck about you. It will never do shit for you. So why, exactly, are you spending your time writing sob stories that make it look good? The number of people on this forum who have a parasocial relationship with a god damn corporation is mindblowing and horrifying in equal parts. Being a nerd is fine, being an unpaid corporate shill is not.
AMD is a company. A company that has traditionally been out-planned and out-executed by its competitors, who strangely are far wealthier. If it wants to be better than them, it needs a better plan and better execution, which surprise surprise is what my answer said. What it does not need, again because it's a god damned corporation, is your sympathy.
Whose a fanboy? How is listing OBJECTIVE empirical data like R&D expenditures painting someone as an underdog? I think you're engaging in projection here....I'll boil down my original post for you: and I NEVER asked, in any way "how a company gets big and successful", what I AM asking is "how is AMD supposed to do all the things everybody thinks they should do?"
How is AMD supposed to do what everyone on this site thinks they should do when they have OBJECTIVELY fewer resources?All I was pointing out is that this is a highly multifaceted issue, and the factors I find to be most important, i.e. MONEY are the exact ones I NEVER here anyone discussing here. I'm pointing out that people like to tell companies what to do, but never address how they're supposed to do it.
Final question: Why are you getting personal and in your feelings on this? You're obviously all worked up as the contempt is seething from your words, why are you so offended? I don't think I deserve your obvious contempt.
FYI: If you look at my posting history, there are tons of times where I literally say that we should never cheer for one company or the other and that we should be cheering for these companies to split marketshare evenly because that would bring about the most competition a d would be best for us as consumers....in that sense. I cheer for AMD, but if AMD was the dominant party, I'd be cheering against them...how could you ever think that someone with an OBVIOUSLY anti-capitalist worldview (look at my name) thinks a company cares about anybody? Personally, I'm offended by how you are literally inserting motive into my comments that was never there...and again, if you look at my past comments, I'm LITERALLY the one constantly talking about parasocial relationships and consumer irrationality... you're the only one getting emotional here, like somehow you've been personally offended.
