Its Only worth what it fetches at point of sale ( FACT )
Until AMD is Sold ...............Speculation of AMD's Worth is just that ..........
....................Speculation

So? last I checked we're a forum that's pretty much all we do, sure there's the occasional issue resolution and game discussion, but mostly we speculate.

Try $6 billion, just for the Radeon graphics division (can't be worth less than half of nVidia, after all, what else is nVidia but GPUs?), and probably at least another $3-4 billion for the CPU division, especially with a probable hit CPU coming out like Zen, but you can deduct ~$2 billion for debt outstanding, so... say $10 billion? By the way, at that value, AMD shares should be worth ~$12.83/share. ($10,000,000,000 / 779,180,000 shares outstanding = $12.83).

Current worth puts AMD around $1.03 billion.

Yeah you can't go all AMD and just buy them because you can afford the net worth, you have to factor in the debt. This is why AMD is where it is, because they bought ATI and forgot to factor in the debt. This is why Nvidia didn't simply buy 3dfx, debt. Instead they took the things of value and left the debt to die with the company. So to buy AMD you're looking at easily 20 Billion in necessary capital over the next 5-10 years to ward off the debt and make them profitable again. That's the real number. OR someone could pull an Nvidia, take the things of value and let the company die. Maybe a couple someones.

ATI was the Graphics company...........>>>> AMD Bought
AMD is Listed on the NY stock Exchange as an AMERICAN Company

So Your WRONG and it DOES MATTER

Good job reading my post above yours where I correct myself....

Intel buys the graphics side, nVidia buys the CPU side.

I was thinking the former would be amazing. It would spell disaster for nVidia, particularly if they ended up with the CPU side, lol.

AMD is a poisoned chalice.

keep up with the News dear @Atomic77
Those 3 Brands have Massive SKU

Stock kept Units

stuck in the Supply Channels
Units are VERY SLOW TO SHIFT
They do not have either the cash assets or the Cash flow to buy or invest in AMD

SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit. It has nothing to do with what is backed up in the supply channel due to lack of demand.

Ok thanks for telling me what SKU is. How am I supposed to know much. Im just the average now 38 year old computer geek Im not really all that technical to know what everything means.

They offer a decent product for a good price. They have a 6th gen i5, GT940 with 8GB/1TB for $549. That's my go to laptop for anyone wanting a midrange powerhouse.

I don't recall Hewlett Packard ever owning Packard Bell they are 2 different companies and not even related.
