These are bad times for AMD. Core 2 Duo took away from them both the performance and the efficiency crown. Since then, they have tried almost everything. First, there was the price wars, to that Intel answered slashing the price on their stock of Pentium D. Then their merger with ATI started the marketing fight. Nothing seemed to stop the downfall.

Recently, we saw an ad were it wasn't clear if they praised the 690 chipset (a real, currently available, new product) or nVidia cards. True, AMD sells processors, and selling chipsets supporting their CPUs is also part of the business, but it's socking to see ATI technology at the service of Geforce chips.

Now, AMD is doing basically the same thing but the other way around: to sell a graphics card, they promote an Intel processor (more precisely, an Asus notebook). By all means, go buy something from them!
