Sure

"The beauty of AMD is that we provide a balance with a strong CPU and a strong GPU "

AKA: Jack-of-all-trades and master of . . . . none.

Makeover Plan?

So let me get this clear - AMD is now apparently aware that focus, execution and profitability are key pillars to success? Were they previously not aware of this? Or simply this time they really, really, really mean it?

Sounds like a plan. Perhaps they should call this their 'management cliche heavy' plan, to be offset of course with asset light.

Also someone needs to explain to Amato, a charitable company involves giving money away not burning it.

What Intel actually says

I love the way that everyone is eager to tell the world what Intel thinks. So I thought perhaps I would chime in:

Consumers and businesses should tailor their computing needs to best meet the experience desired.  A balanced platform approach means the system should have adequate memory, disk space, processor performance and graphics horsepower to meet these needs.
Most of what people do today with their computers requires powerful processors.
Examples of processor intensive applications include: creating content, viewing/editing high definition video, using social media sites, office tools, downloading music, and editing photos.
Intel’s integrated graphics components offer a one of the best video and high definition video experiences possible and full Windows Vista support.
Gaming is an example of a CPU and GPU intensive application – you need all the horsepower you can get.
