Core 2 Duo came out in June 2006.Just a question. It has been thrown around about how much better AMD would be doing if they hadn't lost market share and money to Intel. How does this time line coincide with the huge amount of money they put out for ATI instead of reinvesting into their own company for R&D and publicity?
Second question. How much did they pay for ATI?
ATI buyout ($5.4 billion but there was adjustments made since) was in October 2006.
Phenom (huge disappointment) came out in 2007.
December 2005-June 2006, there was a small economic slump coupled with rumors that Core 2 Duo eats Athlon 64 X2 processors alive caused AMD to decline during that period. Only the server market was strong for them then. AMD's decline really started in December 2005 because of this.
