A lot of potential, with limited ability to execute
Great opportunities: one of two companies with an x86 license, one of two companies providing graphics for the PC/Laptop industry, and the only company designing both ARM and x86 devices. They are the only company providing graphics for the latest generation game consoles. Overall, AMD should be able to turn this into money.
Excessive debt from the ATI acquisition limits the company's ability to invest.
Indecisive leadership (e.g., how to capitalize on their positions) makes them ineffective.
Lack of a cohesive strategy spreads resources too thin.
Lack of growth opportunities combined with regular layoffs creates an atmosphere of fear instead of informed risk-taking.
Pick a strategy and help it evolve to success. The half-life of a strategy must be longer than the time it takes to execute, otherwise it decays before it succeeds.
