No doubt.
The Big Boss at AMD: "So, Smithers, are things on track to sell the Fury X for $800 and undercut those $1000 card posers?"
Smithers: "About that sir, it seem NVIDIA has released a faster card than the Fury X and priced it at $650.. Our performance level demands a $549 price point, and between the new type of RAM and the water coolers, we're going to be making about $3.87 per unit at that price point."
The Big Boss at AMD:"NVIDIA! DAMN YOU TO HELLLLLL!!!!! Oh well, at least we have our powerful new APUs to fall back on!"
Smithers: "About that sir. Intel produced a CPU that spanks our low end graphics cards, and totally embarrasses our APUs"
The Big Boss at AMD: "Sigh, alright call back Hamilton Beach and tell them we'll take that contract to build APUs for their bread makers and toaster ovens."
Smithers: "Yes sir. Shall I shut the door, sir?"
The Big Boss at AMD: "Yes Smithers, and turn off the lights please."
