They announce possible layoffs 3 weeks before Vishera hits retail. Go figure. 🤓

That is called restructuring my friend.

BLEH!
Mate of mine works for BAE, he tells me the number of project managers compared to actual development guys is a nightmare...

Too many Chiefs, and not enough Indians, by the looks of it.

They need to fire half of the driver development team.

They need to do a clearing of management. If the manager isn't essential for day to day operations, there's no reason to have the position...
They need to hire more people for driver development....not fire devs. The fewer driver devs they have....the longer it will take to get drivers out and the lower the quality will be.
Had Bulldozer come out on time....it wouldn't look as bad as it does. There's still plenty they can do to the architecture to improve it.... They just need to take things more seriously and make better use of their extremely limited R&D budget.

Those ones got me going too. But I'd say fire at least 80% of the driver development team.

Too many middle managers always get in the way .. good for AMD if they're let go.

AMD could just bribe whoever came up with Intel's architectures and call it a day OR kidnap him/her if he/she says no. 😀

Product superiority is all about money. If you do not have enough of it, you cannot produce better products than those who have tons of it. If AMD had the resources, fabs and facilities of Intel, they would probably be on top.

I would love to see AMD drivers on par with nvidia as it would be really competitive then and prices for us the consumer would drop,it would be great as AMD make great cards but those damn drivers man......
