SeaMicro acquisition: A game-changer for AMD

Thumb Down

What is AMD up to?

Unless AMD is delusional, surely they must also realise that their processors are inferior to Intel in performance and power consumption?

Thus if you take a fairly successful server company developing servers using Intel's best offering and dump those for AMD's own inferior processor... which company in their right mind would still buy a server from SeaMicro?

Surely any new server from SeaMicro (using AMD's chips) is either going to be massively power hungry (bulldozer) or inferior in performance to the previous generation of servers using Intel's SandyBridge / Atom based architecture?

So... what is AMD up to?
