Average focal raise this year
Anyone heard of any rumors? Is it going to be another 2.x%?
Don't get too excited about the AMD hype train.
The truth is AMD had a lousy quarter just like every other chip company,Nvidia being the worst. AMD also indicated it's going to have a lost Q1. What's moving AMD is the promise that starting Q2,it will be great because by then, Rome will be out, new... — read more
