AMD to Cut its Workforce by About Four Percent

[Scrizz]

Nope

I guess some of these might be employees of Xilinx and other recent acquisitions, since it's normal for companies to lay off some employees they consider redundant after an acquisition, but no idea honestly.

Interesting, I hadn't realized AMD bought ZT systems.

ATI seems like a deal vs Xilinx

Won't help. The problem is called Lisa Su. The head should go...

Your suggestion is as daft as it is ignorant. Lisa Su is the REASON AMD has made such a brilliant comeback! Just stop.

Which, however, is not foolproof. Outside has first burned 9800x3d which pass with socket together. Bad installed possible.

Before I opened my big fat mouth, I waited for someone w/ some better cred to put it to bed.

While I don't really care for the installation procedures of an LGA socketed platform, it was 100% the user being a big dumb oaf ("User Error")

Wrong. Watch the video.

Lisa will have to go.

Is it time for Lisa Su to LEAVE AMD?​

Lisa Su was great for getting AMD out of debt and did well to establish HPC and chiplet success, BUT under her guidance AMD only takes safe risks with immediate return which results in a very short sighted vision and guidance. over the years this has meant that AMD lost several opportunities and stagnated in some areas and also puts them in a perpetual “catch-up” position. Interesting watch. I’ve thought this for a while now. Maybe they could get that Keller guy to come back or something. Or maybe they’d make the worst choice and hire an accountant as ceo? It also talks about the horrible marketing and lost opportunities in sales strategies.

1. Cutting the employees count;
2. No GPU competition at all;
3. Extremely bad GPU prices which stay stagnant for years, no new products released in some segments for years;
4. Has not solved the problem with the Intel and Nvidia market share dominance, the market still buys those;
5. Lack of interest to innovate with TSMC latest processes - 2 nm and 3 nm

Look at Nvidia's execution this year:

From the minute I saw reddit I knew the truth. Go back to 2017 ans look at AMD's stock price. Then use Intel's numbers. It would tell you that there is no way AMD will ever catch Intel. I will play though.

1. Cutting Employees is a trend. They are all doing it.
2. The narrative talking again. That is why the 6600 is Number 1 on Canada Newegg and the 7900XT is in 3rd on Newegg.com.
3. This is pure projection a 7900XTX is the 2nd fastest GPU in most reviews but it is 1/3 the price of the 4090 where I live.
4 Has not solved the problem? Where have you been for the last 5 years?
5. Now you are reaching. In the CPU space AMD are the example of innovation. Or maybe turning the voltage up and opening as many transistors Gates as possible is innovation to you.

Now let me tell you about the narrative.

4K Ultra is the only way to test CPU performance
AMD GPUs are not good at Gaming
X3d chips are pure hype
AMD Drivers are garbage
AMD abandoned their users by not giving us Driver updates for 3 months
Nvidia is the King because Jensen is so smart, Yep that is why they are being investigated by more than one Fedaral Dept in the US
We should never use an AMD GPU in a video as that does not comport to the narrative.

That last one was from a pretty big Youtuber that took the time to respond to the message "Why do you guys never use AMD GPUs in your AMD CPU reviews. I am willing to bet that not a reviewer out there realizes that you can monitor Frame Time using AMD overlay.

 

[windwhirl]

I don't even want to look at videos. Hearing people droning on and on is irritating. Specially for 24 minutes. Screw that.

Anyway, AMD isn't doing too bad, and changing the CEO right now won't do anything other than cause chaos.

I'll give you credit for putting in some effort on this post. However the context of the content you've provided offers zero merit. So I'm going to go with my original statement and say that your suggestion is daft and ignorant. You are glossing over critical facts and twisting the rest to fit your silly narrative. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.

Appears you two want a monopoly which will drive prices even further out.

I wouldn't count on them wanting it as much as them being sad to the new reality, man.

Nah man citing random youtube vids and rando reddit is really just low effort. Kids these days don't know what primary/secondary sources are.

1. Cutting Employees is a trend. They are all doing it.

They are not doing it. Only companies with severe financial problems are doing it. Shrinking is never a good sign. You can't do more with less employees.

2. The narrative talking again. That is why the 6600 is Number 1 on Canada Newegg and the 7900XT is in 3rd on Newegg.com.

Cherry-picking or a straightforward lie. See how the 3rd place is occupied by 4090? Normal? I don't think so.

Better look at the Steam hardware survey.

The first Radeon at the 14th place (integrated graphics), the first real Radeon is at the 34th place.

3. This is pure projection a 7900XTX is the 2nd fastest GPU in most reviews but it is 1/3 the price of the 4090 where I live.

In most non-RT reviews it trades blows with the much smaller RTX 4080/S.
In all RT reviews it is very slow.

XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTX Magnetic Air Review

Nvidia is the benchmark, not the struggling Intel which is downward spiraling, and sooner or later will exit the market.

Always the best logic, just like how AMD was in a downward spiral for about 5 years multiple times during their existence and during all of those times they exited the market and folded as a company. They also definitely didn't come back to take the performance lead for x86 CPUs multiple times.

Intel improving is more of a question of leadership and will then it is ability to do so.

RT. What about pure raster? I could pull numbers to support my argument too. By the way all of those cards are more expensive than the 7900XTX. The Steam Hardware survey? Really? Which of my PCs do you think Steam picks for the survey. I could also counter with go on any e-tailer that has reviews and wonder how the reviews of people who have bought them and are using them compare to the narrative. There was a time when that had more merit than the Steam Hardware Survey. Meanwhile in the real world I know RT is a gimmick for people that play Strategy and RPG Games on PC. Show me a strategy Game that supports RT. You see this thread is about AMD's workforce cut and you bashing a company that made 6.8 billion last quarter based on their performance is not getting the point. It is not the performance but the narrative that has AMD GPUs in such a negative light. I could pull up reviews that show the 7900XTX in 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 1st in raw raster benchmarks.

Hopefully a random one because that's how it should be working and that's statistically valid.

Incorrect. A LOT of companies are doing it. Many parts of the world economy are in poor shape and when we add in AI being utilized to replace the job people used to do, the result is a wave companies doing lay-offs.

Look at how AMD's market share was fine during Radeon HD 4000 and Radeon HD 5000, and then after AMD stopped developing its GPUs, it has gone downward spiraling:

[StimpsonJCat]

Thanks Raja! The over-hype and under-deliver era severely damaged the Radeon brand, but the deliriously over-hyped and dead-ended RDNA architecture was the final nail in the coffin.

From 2014-2024 - his decisions utterly destroyed the Radeon brand and is now destroying the wider PC gaming market by handing it over to nV, who openly hates their gaming customers, and only cares about commercial enterprise sales.

Except that none of THAT is verifiable either because none of it is from publicly authenticated sources. Nice try, but total non-sense. Jon Peddie Research is not a source of data that can be trusted as the data they publish does not come from independently verifiable sources. It's all proprietary data that has not been peer vetted and verified.
