Typo in title..."looses" should be "loses". 🙂

the very minute the new consoles come out AMD will be 1st.

Dont forget, this is on $ .. not units. Qualcomm or Samsung certainly product more MPU unit of Intel.. but at 15$ . ( a bit more over the last year for Qualcomm and Samsung ).

A shame but sadly their CPUs suck compared to Intel, for general end user use anyways.
What I wanna know is the CPU they're supplying in the consoles, surely that cannot be good can it?
scandalous

Yep,Delta is right.
to the people i sold AMD,i always told that it is a more cheap "wintel cpu",and after a long time feedback is coming"Dude,that cpu was/is fantastic,what is it , i5 ?"Nope,A10.Wow,i have an A10!!!
sorry,but i couldn't help sometimes at work,it eliminates boredom.

The fact that the AMD 8350 is typically $100 cheaper than the 3770k, yet nearly performs toe to toe, even outperforms it in some multimedia applications, says a lot. Intel is for the enthusiasts of enthusiasts, people who are willing to pay insane prices for their hardware. And consider that without AMD, Intel would be without an x86 competitor and would be robbing you enthusiasts blind.
That aside, I think it's clear that once next gen consoles come out, AMD will be sitting in the #2 or #3 spot again.

AMD have little by little let other go forward mainly because when it melt with ATI it was needing fund to keep GPU in the run.
1st they let server/pro side die, end of the 90' opteron were bleeding edge, last server i have seen on AMD was on 2002 and was on the way to be change by xeon (more power, more power saving and more reliable)
then the mainstream CPU... fact is that the best AMD 8 core cannot compete with i5, in 99% of the app (sad i think).
on other hand AMD invested a lot on the integrated CPU/GPU, i think it's a good tactic as the company cannot fight with Intel right now, and they do a pretty good job (android x86 work very nice on AMD)... but carefull, Intel started to attack on this front too.
but shouldn't be even more nice to goes ARM way? ARM is by definition more versatile than x86.

I ditched ATI cards, they have the worst drivers ever.

I don't really know how it goes toe to toe looking at this chart. This chart is about High end and low end, if you say, that it's small number of people who purchase high end cpu's, so this chart shouldn't show such a big difference between AMD and Intel if it goes toe to toe in lower end. I think, the reality here is simple, if AMD won't show competition in this market, dark days are coming to them and to us.

So sad. :^(

AMD revenue down 29%
Its all about revenue. The profits from gaming console GPU are very small, in the 10-15 dollar region. Its not enough to keep AMD from shrinking if they don't improve other revenue streams.
