Only had to lay off 12,000 people because their bottom line more important than 12,000 human being who work very hard for them to make their billions.

How is that a "LOL" matter, you want Intel and Nvidia to be the choices and only two companies innovating?
Ha LOL its 2020 and Im still using a Core i7 and a GTX1080! HA sooo funny. 
Wait nvm no I wont, because a gaming PC will be too much money when their is a monopoly, guess we will all be playing on Xboxes and PlayStations, sooo funny!

Yep its very funny. Die already AMD so a better company can emerge.

I'm not here to start an AMD>INTC or INTC>AMD. That layoff would not have been factored into their current profits. But hey, they are in the business of making money not giving handouts. INTC is just simply in a much better financial situation than AMD and is reflected by both of their current stock values and current dividend that is paid (or lack thereof). According to what I read on their filings AMD lost 87 million in 2013, 198 million in 2014, and 690 million last year in 2015.

No, it's your CEOs who want a fatter check. So to make up for that loss, let's lay off these 12,000 people, and have the bottom barrel work harder and pay them less. That's what it's all about. AMD is just a grain of salt in Intel's minds.
 Nothing but a nice fat pyramid with a smaller pointy top. Greed will kill America. In this day in age, a foreigner who is here illegally works harder than one with a PHD.

Didn't AMD stock just get a 50% spike on trading the other day?

that was the bump from the chinese  AMD CPU manufacturing deal

In a year or so Intel will hire a new batch of disposable employees and get a nice big fat tax break for creating new job opportunities. This is the sad truth about the business world today.

I'm disliking my country right now...

I worked for a company that did that every two years. That is a real tax break with no clarification on how you create those new job openings. I got caught in one of those layoffs before I completed my second year of employment. What really stinks is that they laid off some old guy we all called "Pooh Bear" because he looked like Winnie the Pooh. He worked there his whole life amd only had six months to go for his full pension. He got a job across the river in New Jersey and two weeks later he pulled over to the side of the road on his way home and dropped dead from a heart attack. Sometimes life just isn't fair.

When you're number 2 you try harder. If I'm going to throw my money at someone at least I should throw it to someone who is trying.

Recently, AMD has been working with China to reach that large market, especially given their ongoing cash concerns. This time, AMD sold 85% of its stake in two locations, AMD Penang, Malaysia and AMD Suzhou, Jiangsu, China, to NFME and formed a joint venture with them, called TF-AMD Microelectronics
 
AMD gets 320M
 
looks like AMD trying to shore up there financials
Maybe Fujitsu looking to buy up AMD down the road
