    Will AMD have the time and money to even get to 2014, let alone later? Or will they end up getting borged into a larger company before then? I'm not sure we'll be seeing AMD branded CPUs in 5 years.

    Smart move here by AMD, For me its looking like Intel are more and more going to be the ones to loose out in the long run with the ARM takeover.

    There is a typo!! I assume the author of the article meant Opterons??

    Intel can reduce power usage to meet the ARM chips as they increase CPU grunt, they already are doing so and certain Atom SOCs are now in the same ballpark of perf/Watt as ARM based architectures. ARM and their licensees would have an enormous struggle to scale their chips to compete with Xeon and i7 chips, they'd have to burn a lot more power to hit that level and above to overcome the hump of x86 legacy compatibility.

    When it comes down to it they are all operating within the laws of physics and they all have to use similar peripheral chips and power technology... I've said it before and I'll say it again I really don't understand this idea that ARM is the saviour of the universe come to rid us of power hungry Intel CPUs, it ain't gonna happen, Intel aren't going anywhere they have massive R&D, the best chip fabs and technologies and can attract some of the best industry talent. AMD however are small fry, struggling to stay above water - they had to move into ARM as an insurance policy, if x86 sales did shrink it'd kill them first.

    For me its the software that's Intel's problem, all there desktop chips Sandy / Ivy are "good enough" these days even for gaming with a discrete GPU, there's little reason now to upgrade, they will still go on in the server space though as more is always better.

    I think that this was the love child between the thought telling the author to type "Opterons" and a different thought telling him to type "Operations"

    Perhaps they are planning on saving costs by dumping x86 related research and development ultimately.
    Remember, AMD is run by beancounters now. Not engineers.
