Don't worry - the board has lots of experience killing companies

Bob Palmer is on the board. A very smart man, but:

Was a high ranking VP with Mostek as Mostek shut its doors.

Was in charge of DEC as DEC shut its doors.

Looking to make it a hat trick (sorry - a hockey term = 3 scores)

AMD had no trouble taking market share from Intel when AMD had superior products.

People don't seem to understand that you need:

1) a superior CPU design

2) equal or superior process technology

AMD has neither right now.

The lack of #2 means that the game is over for AMD.

they could become a Via or something like that. Need to think small to survive.

They are gone as the Intel competitor they used to be. If they realize this soon enough, they may survive as a much smaller company. otherwise, Bob Palmer can help with the next liquidation sale.
