You know.....
Amd delaying Zen is a bad bad sign. And the reasoning, "oh uhm...we are delaying the chip because...you know....the market is slow right now...in May...so...yeah...we aren't gonna launch our revolutionary chip....it won't be out in time for back to school....or even Xmas....cause you know....the market is slow right now....see..holding off the chip, it's a very smart thing to do!"
Never mind that the PC market has taken hit after hit, year over year. Wtf!!!
The market actually was in a straight down spiral, it looked bad...hopeless. But then this sudden drop leveled off some and the situation tipped out of the spiral. It started looking better than it had in years..well, the outlook mind you.
Anyway, Q2 is always down for PC markets. But to not have the chip launch in time for Q3 or Q4? It is insane. This makes no sense what so ever. You cannot know what the back to school and Xmas quarters will look like but considering last year....they probably won't be terrible. If they truly expect it to be terrible, in a declining market...wouldn't you expect, it would be worse next year? I mean, to be so negative...to think it was so bad in 2016 that you are just gonna pit off you chip launch....2017 will follow the trend. Which leveled some but it is still not moving upward...still a downward trend...still a declining market.
It is bull shit. This is total bull shit.
Zen is not being delayed for +6months because the market was slow in may. It's bull shit.
Best case scenario- they have a manufacturer in issue, the node..re spin..something
Worst case: Zen is another dud, it's not living up to claims or expectations.
Either way.. .it's just not good news. Not at all.
