แต่ว่าในการสัมภาษณ์มีบางส่วน ที่ David Kirk ได้พูดถึงคู่แข่ง ซึ่งก็คือ AMD(ATI) ไว้อย่างน่าสนใจ ตามนี้
AMD has been declining because it hasnt built a competitive
graphics architecture for almost two years nowever since the
AMD/ATI merger. Theyve been pulling engineers [from the GPU
teams] to Fusion, which integrates GPU technology onto the CPU. They have to do four things to survive, but I dont think they have
enough money to do one thing.
The first thing they have to do to compete with Intel is the process
technology they have to build the new fabs. The second thing is the
next-generation CPU technology. The third one is the next generation
GPU technologywere going to invest one billion dollars in here this
year and they need to invest on the same level to keep up with us.
And then the fourth thing is they say the future is going to be this
integrated CPU/GPU thing called Fusion, which theres no evidence
to suggest this is true but they just said it. They believe it and theyre
now doing it.
So they have to do these four multi-billion dollar projects, theyre
currently losing half a billion dollars per quarter and they owe eight
billion dollars. Their market cap is about three billion, so its hard to
see where the future is in that picture. Really speaking, theyre going
to have to pull not one, but several rabbits out of the hat.
