AMD to Acquire Xilinx, Creating the Industry's HPC Leader

[spnidel]

Dude, I'm at a loss, I really have no clue what you're on about, as none of it makes sense in English.

You made a sexist comment, deal with it.

There are so many other ways you could've worded that so it wouldn't have been sexist.

oh no, someone made a sexist comment, stop the presses lol

I should somehow be oppressed for holding minority views by your inequality confirming micro-aggression on mens' rights to equal compensation, but I am not playing your deep-rooted disproportinate patriarchal power struggle to perpetuate your stereotypical gender norms "white washing" game. Doesn't matter how you paint it. You cannot discredit a subject just because of gender differences by your standards.


That is not an argument. "White washing" is what you are doing.

PS: is this toxic? This is how it sounds like when you discriminate a man just for avoiding the limelight...

your being silly, and making it toxik, I never said anything of the sort or did anything of the sort.

So women don't deserve any respect for the work they have done?
That's a very sexist attitude.

He didn't. He just made a stupid comment. Most things are not sexist, just stupid and throwing that word around willy nilly just makes it loose it's weight.

That is a great one liner.
Can I not recognize 'any' of the contributions of the dude who is her senior? That is a very sjw thing to say... you guys destroy the social structure.

Dude, you are being ridiculous. Lisa Su deserves all the credit she is getting because she managed the company's assets in the correct way and got the results we see today not because she is a woman. So, calm down and comment on the topic at hand and not imaginary sjws or whatever.

On topic: this is probably the deal of the decade.

It appears that the majority of you chose to argue and fall for a simple bait. This thread is about AMD's acquisition of another company and nothing else so the next poster that trolls/replies to a troll will be automatically thread banned and given points.

Yes & the decade's barely started. Intel's in a pile of trouble of their own, imagine if stronger(?) competitor's emerge in Nvidia+ARM or AMD+Xilinx (or both) & if their node issues aren't getting fixed anytime soon then for an Intel shareholder now probably would be a good time to look for alternatives!

Xilinx is the undisputed leader in FPGAs, but I'm not entirely sure how a merger with AMD helps anybody.

FPGAs are probabaly used by AMD to prototype their CPU designs: but FPGAs don't seem to synergize with CPUs, GPUs in general purpose settings. There was a Bing accelerator on FPGAs (IIRC, using the Intel / Alteria Xeon FPGA chip), but such products are very rare.

Xilinx does make money though, and AMD is kind of inconsistent with that. AMD's stock price is way overvalued (AMD has a bright future, but its trading >100 PE), so an all-stock deal seems like a good idea.

My thoughts exactly, they are cashing in on their overvalued (in terms of PE ratio) stock by buying another (consistently) very profitable company.

Couldn't agree more on all these points.
