AMD Announces Next Financial Analyst Day: February 2012
by Anand Lal Shimpi on September 22, 2011 5:30 PM ESTFor the past three years AMD has held an annual Financial Analyst Day at its HQ in Sunnyvale, CA in November. That was the case for 2008, 2009 and 2010. There hasn't been a Financial Analyst Day in 2011 and based on AMD's most recent announcement, it looks like there won't be one until February 2, 2012.
AMD's Financial Analyst Days are usually where AMD discloses its long term roadmaps for future products. It's where we first heard about Phenom II, Llano and Trinity. AMD just recently got a new CEO, which helps explain the delay to February. With a new CEO potentially comes new corporate direction and perhaps a new roadmap.
That being said, I wouldn't be too surprised to see a CPU core roadmap update before the end of the year.

AMD is one sad company.The Crying Man - Friday, September 23, 2011 - link
Yup, they should just give up altogether. We got superior stuff from Intel anyway.silverblue - Friday, September 23, 2011 - link

Not sure what makes you guys be so harsh against AMD, as they are a company that competes with giants and performs quite admirably...Not to mention you really sound like a bunch of frontrunners who undoubtedly bashed Intel just a few years ago, if you were even old enough to be tech enthusiasts yet.
Often corporate climate IMPROVES with new executives and board members. To try to insult them here just because of some change is ignorant. You have no idea where they will be in five, ten, or twenty years. Stockholders like myself who have lost money in the market due to the economy know that the USA still has more going for it economically than most nations around the world. I'm holding onto my AMD stock, because many stocks that do poorly for awhile get the right mix of innovation and people and old company wisdom learned by making mistakes and they do really really well for awhile. Intel and NVidia are old goats with lots of capital. AMD is still on it's upward trend. I think there is more money to be made with AMD and sometimes fresh thinking is exactly what a corporation needs. :)

Looks like AMD's got some changes going on that's for sure, but are they for the better? Bergman was a veteran from ATI, and now I hear there's practically no tech guys in AMD's board. Whether he was sacked or really resigned without being pressured doesn't really matter. A rat leaving a sinking ship, or the goat that got sacked due to bad handling of GF relations.Delaying the analyst day is just some of the fallout of AMD's failure to release BD and supply enough 32 nm APUs. I guess there's some explaining to do next february.

I love how people come in here spouting off the doom of AMD and all hail Intel.The push of the date couldn't POSSIBLY be due to the fact that 1 month ago AMD made MAJOR changes to its server processor roadmap that will undoubtedly affect its financial outlook for the next 18-24 months. And perhaps they need some extra time to get all their changes in order before presenting them.
And for the Intel bigots, without AMD, Intel would be more expensive and produce crappier products. So no matter how much you think "they should just give up altogether", you NEED AMD to stay in the CPU Game.
