eWeek has published a top ten list of some things AMD needs to fix pronto. At number one is the migration from 65nm to 45nm, and how true that one is. Intel is on generation two and far enough along on their 45nm technology that their yields are probably approaching 100%. Well, not really, but they’re probably well over 90%. We’ve seen how overclockable the Core Architecture (Core 2 processors) are. That indicates a very stable, mature process, and one that’s got headroom. And we’ll see how the next-gen tock cycle does, with its revamped internal architecture–a type of baseline preparation for the process shrink to 32nm, which may well come before AMD migrates fully to 45nm.
Some other items on the list:
2) Bring PUMA to market… fast!
3) Re-embrace their channel partners.
4) Focus on processors, jettison their Consumer Electronics division (AMD Live!).
