AMD Nano

[RolloTheGreat]

Eh happy medium long time no see.

Hey man nice to see you also.

AMD could have hit a home run if the Nano was...

1.released last year
2. for ~ 350$
3. slightly faster than a 970
4. with a single 6 pin power connector.

Its too late now.

This all seems reasonable.

I don't get AMD with this launch.

If the Fury X had launched for $550, instant winner.

If the Fury had launched for $450, instant winner.

And if this launches for $300, instant winner.

At those prices AMD would have cleaned house and taken back a ton of much needed market share. Instead they pretended 75% of the world was not buying NVIDIA and that they still had half the discrete market waiting for them.

This was the time to make a big move, sacrifice some margin for a big swing in market share.
