AMD VP Henri Richard resigns

[HEXUS]

We have it on good authority that AMD's chief sales and marketing officer Henri Richard has resigned effective of September 8. The company has made no announcement - though it has we believe accepted the resignation - and our interpretation is that Richard has had to fall on his sword as sales have plummeted and AMD's losses have steadily mounted.

ok, now the guy who killed off s939 before its time needs to do the same. leaving a note apologising for the murder of AMD

Great shame if this is true - it was refreshing to see someone so high up in a company respond to fans emails directly.

A bit unfair if true - you can't expect a salesforce to deliver if you don't give them the ammunition to fight with ...

a bit harsh hexus ... this isnt the enq. Having said that they must be s***ing bricks over at AMD at the moment. If they can get thier next line of cpus sorted they are still in a stronger position than they were in the old althlon xp and k7 days. I personaly want to thank Henri for helping bring some competition to the cpu market. We have never had it so good. The pc that you can build for about £400 now is something well worth having ... not something i could have said 5 years ago.
