FITCamaro - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkI hope this does not affect their future in building high performance GPUs. Without AMD, Nvidia has a hard lock on the dedicated graphics market. Of course with Nvidia trying to get developers locked into its technologies so it has better performance through more optimized code, its hard for AMD to compete. Reply
jimjamjamie - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkThis all seems to be focused on CPUs so I can only presume the GPU roadmap is business as usual. Reply
Wreckage - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkIt is possible that AMD is slowly moving away from the discrete GPU market. Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkWasn't that one of the most profitable parts of their last business year, though? Reply
silverblue - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkIt makes no sense to lose the dGPU side of their business, not unless APUs really sell like hotcakes and they need to shift production to satisfy demand. I'm not seeing any chance of that happening. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Monday, June 16, 2014 - linkIf it's their most profitable line and it's only marginally profitable, then it may be better to try and focus on things they can be insanely profitable at in the long run rather than emphasize the short term.
Not saying this is the case now, but just saying there is a universe where a company might sacrifice the sure thing now if that sure thing wasn't making bajillions for something they know the company must have in the future. Reply
silverblue - Monday, June 16, 2014 - linkIt's just as well that NVIDIA didn't bet the farm on Tegra. Reply
tipoo - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkMove away from one of their biggest, most profitable cash flows? Why? This would imply just the opposite. GPUs are already high revenue for them. Reply
pTmdfx - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkGiven AMD named professional graphics as one of its new, high-growth business, why would it move away from it? Moreover, AMD has been building graphics IP that is scalable from ultra-low-power SOC to huge, 4K-gaming capable discrete GPUs. I don't see how the reorg can affect this capacity. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, June 18, 2014 - linkGenerally high-end GPU's were low volume parts with high margins...
However, if you look back over the last several years, those low volume parts have dramatically and I mean dramatically increased in volume, all due to compute, be it bitcoin mining or folding etc'.
They would be insane to throw all of that away and simply not take advantage of that potentially high-profit niche' in the future. Reply
Dribble - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkOther then by AMD getting developers locked into there technologies (mantle) so they have better performance through optimized code. Reply
SleepyFE - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkHow is Mantle still considered an end product. The damned thing is still in development, nothing is final. If they released the specs now Nvidia would just pick the parts they liked and made their own version (CUDA 5.0 or something). Then we would have two new API's. The fact that you can try it out is just good will.
Also they did say that nothing (except not giving them the code yet) is stopping Nvidia from supporting Mantle on their hardware. We'll see how it turns out. Don't declare your hasty conclusions that they were purposefully vague about. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, June 18, 2014 - linkMantle isn't going to be forever locked to AMD, it will eventually be opened up and someone like nVidia or Intel can build their Drivers to support it.
However, with that said... Even if Mantle flounders, it's done it's job as it prodded a stick over at Microsoft to bring some low-level API advantages to Direct X 12.
Converesly, TressFX and TrueAudio both AMD technologies are open enough that nVidia if it so wanted, could actually support it.
On the flip side... You just need to take a look at PhysX to see the kind of damaging "lock ins" nVidia can do to the market. I.E. Performance degradation for non-nVidia users. Reply
LaughingTarget - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkThe problem AMD has right now is that they're not financially healthy. The company has failed to produce an operating cash flow in three of the past four years and posted a negative $204 million this past quarter. The company couldn't generate internal cash even on a $400 million profit in 2010. AMD has lost 90% of its market capitalization since 2006 (a trend pre-dating the financial crisis so that isn't even an excuse), is worth just 1/3 of what Nvidia is and has lost over half of its entire balance sheet equity in four years.
Because of poor financials, AMD is unable to compete on two major fronts - CPU and GPU - effectively. Nvidia alone is outspending AMD by 50% in R&D and when Intel is thrown into the mix which is spending 10 times as much, AMD is just being overwhelmed.
Even if AMD focused purely on the GPU market, they would be overwhelmed by Nvidia's superior financial position. AMD is further cannibalizing its internal capital base to maintain cash for operations and is not investing in new capabilities. AMD is currently on path to be left behind in the GPU and CPU markets so badly they won't be able to catch up.
Another problem with AMD is that they're active in the console space. The key problems with the console space is that the technology required starts at two generations behind the current technology, has extremely low margins and is unable to take advantage of economics of scale and becomes a major burden as the console generation ages. In five years, AMD is going to have to maintain fabrication capability to produce extremely out of date hardware and produce it at margins that can fit within a final selling price of $200, which has to be split between CPU, GPU, mainboard, memory, storage, network controllers and input devices. With AMD locking itself into all three of the consoles as a primary supplier, they're setting themselves up to take large losses the company can barely handle as it is as the generation ages.
Further, AMD has a poorly developed customer development capability. The customer is not you, you're the end consumer, but the B2B component. The major reason why Nvidia is the market leader is a far superior business relationship capability. AMD is rather poor in maintaining key account customers, which allows Nvidia that can now and again sell more expensive but inferior chips without much worry of AMD supplanting them. AMD hasn't been able to convince buyers that their product is a superior value.
AMD is further harming itself by attempting to develop its own custom API, Mantle. These are resources the company can ill afford to produce since they do not have the necessary business connections to convince large volume buyers that Mantle and the AMD chips needed to run them are a good deal. One of the causes behind 3dfx's failure was attempting to push GLide and diverting resources away from producing a quality DirectX experience, which is what Nvidia focused on and ended up driving 3dfx out of the market.
Since AMD is no longer in the financial position to effectively continue competing in the CPU or GPU markets, they'll have to find an avenue where their deteriorated financial position and weak market reputation aren't going to be a hindrance. Since AMD still has a competent and capable engineering staff, they can refocus their competencies into the mobile space and cut ties with GPU and CPU production which the company lacks the resources to continue competing with. AMD is much better than Intel at producing inexpensive and efficient chips, so their competencies are better matched to mobile production. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, June 17, 2014 - linkReally, really, really strange post.
Maybe that is because You cut out TIME FRAMES from Your forecasts.
But first You acknowledge AMD superior skills (they got ALL consoles for being inferior in design?), and then claim, that they do not have capability to create such skills (crisis started before GCN was made).
If AMD is capable of APU development, why should they chop that into pieces?
(However I do agree on the trend to finding better ways to conduct their R&D, bad ass simulators required for current day dGPU ain't cheap - and not always are enough) Reply
LaughingTarget - Friday, June 27, 2014 - linkNot sure what you mean about timeframe being off. The most recent quarter was also a large cash loss that was tempered with continued sales of internal assets.
Nvidia was rather public in the fact that they simply chose not to bid on the latest hardware generation of consoles. AMD didn't beat them out on the contract, Nvidia didn't want to play given the low sale price necessary for the unit production. Nvidia couldn't justify the low margins.
AMD is already chopping its capability. With only 2/3 of the investment base of Nvidia, they're attempting to split that between a broader product base than the competitors are. The API might be good, but at the end of the day, they do not have the resources necessary to support API development along with GPU and CPU investment. Besides, AMD's business connection and key account management is atrocious. They'd have to convince hardware resellers to prioritize AMD hardware if Mantle is ever going to be a success. Since Nvidia and Intel are unlikely to license out Mantle on their hardware, AMD has to green field develop a larger customer base.
The financials don't lie. AMD is not healthy and they can't handle all the projects they're currently committed to. Companies can't bleed cash for years and remain in business. I'm still concerned that the company won't survive past 2016 at this rate.
To deflect fanboy nonsense, especially since I doubt you bothered to even look at their quarterly reports (or could understand it for that matter since you find the analysis "strange"), I've been exclusive AMD for my personal built systems since the Winchester chip. Reply
Zoomer - Tuesday, June 17, 2014 - linkDidn't realize AMD owns all the console manufacturers.
-> Console manufacturers usually license the design and then make the part themselves. Reply
TristanSDX - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkThey fall every year with market share, revenues and headcount, so they must constantly restructure itself to match smaller size of business. Soon they reach start-up or garage level business. Reply
ZandalarZandali - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkSo since when was a market cap of 3.26 Billion anywhere near start up business level? They've only restructured once so far, and this would be it technically. Reply
Wreckage - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkThat's about what a headphone company just sold for. Reply
lmcd - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkYeah and the selling price was over their value, since all deals end up like that. AMD if purchased would probably cost closer to 3.5 Billion. Reply
LaughingTarget - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkAMD had a market cap of $30 billion in 2006. Reply
TheJian - Sunday, June 15, 2014 - linkthis^^^ Most here seem to be missing the point of your posts and others. They are forgetting what they WERE and how they keep shrinking what they ARE today.
The 3dfx point was spot on. AMD didn't learn from watching 3dfx go down I guess. AMD is forgetting DX/OpenGL for their own API which has ZERO dollars to push it on anyone. It is difficult and COSTLY to woo people to your API while others exist that serve everyone. IF you have the cash to blow, sure its great to add features your competition doesn't have to make you stand out. But when you're broke, and everyone around you is 3B+ rich, you should stop this nonsense. Most of the vidcard/driver problems of the last 2yrs were due to basically the same thing happening with diverted funds to make console custom chips. That money, had it been used on GPU/CPU might have put out something to compete with INTEL again, and also avoid GPU/driver problems on the gpu side. People don't seem to understand what is really going on here.
Also no matter how you slice up the data above, you should be on SOC rev4-5 by now like NV. Again funds from the diversion crap (console/mantle) could have been spent here, getting a modem company bought so they could at some point get into a phone etc... Reply
ShieTar - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkQuick question: Why would a tech-site report on this kind of management-mutation?
Please don't get me wrong, I highly appreciate the AT special coverage on AMD progress, I believe in progress by competition, and I understand that communicating the technological considerations of all competitors even in the face of a commercial domination of a single competitor is in the best interest of the overall tech community and the average customer.
I mean it, I enjoy the equal opportunity communications going on at AT, even when it seems asymmetric sometimes at pairing Intel tests versus AMD ideas. But thats all for the better, we all have decades to live and should be interested in tomorrows products almost as much as we are in todays. So go on with all of that, I like it.
But now you go and babble about Business Units? Honestly, how and where will that ever turn up in your benchmarks? Does anybody really believe that an army of thousands of highly educated engineers and scientists will suddenly come up with ground-breaking new ideas because they are now grouped into a new business unit with a new shiny Mastermind?
Maybe it is time for AT to stop being paid by advertisers, and start being paid by the readers? I for one would not mind to give my money directly to an independent source of tech-information, rather than have it trickle down through the commercial departments of the companies I happen to buy stuff from.
Honestly, guys, please think about who your customer is, what your customer cares about. Me, I'd rather be your customer than your product to be sold. Reply
Egg - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkThis hardly reads like a press release. It's not like AMD really wants to announce to the world that we won't be able to find out how their individual units are doing, which is a major change; I remember reading Anandtech's reporting on how Nvidia and AMD were doing market share wise. Changing market share isn't going to create innovations, but it's still nice to note. Reply
HigherState - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkI agree that an independent tech review website supported by its readers would be a theoretically ideal business model for AT. I just don't see how not having partnerships with vendors would somehow result in more product coverage. AMD's sponsorship with this site CAN lead some to be suspicious of the selection of content like this article, however it isn't like this is a top tier story. Its a pipeline story after all, not a major news article. The title is clearly defined, so I knew what I was getting when I clicked the link. I'm not at all worried about AT thinking that its readers are just a marketing opportunity like some of the other major "tech" websites (looking at you big C.) Reply
Ryan Smith - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkHi ShieTar;
To answer your question we report on it because it's important. I believe that it's impossible to fully understand the decisions technology companies make without understanding the financial situations and people behind them. A change in management doesn't mean that AMD is going to suddenly figure out how to change the laws of physics, but it does signal what AMD considers important and what technologies they're going to be investing in for the future.
For example, to understand AMD's current product lineup and why they aren't falling over themselves to try to build a Intel-killer high-end CPU, you have to understand AMD's intentions to transition towards a smaller company that is focused on markets that AMD considers high growth, such as semi-custom silicon and dense servers. That is a management directed change that has directly impacted the kind of products AMD chooses to develop, and knowing something about Rory and Lisa along with AMD's financial situation helps to understand why AMD has gone that direction.
Similarly, AMD's decision on how to organize their business units indicates just what AMD considers important and how AMD expects their revenue to be aligned. The fact that they've gone from dividing the business between the GPU and CPU to dividing things up between core technologies and fringe technologies indicates that AMD expects a significant portion of their revenue to come from the latter. Which is to say that direct sales of products like Radeon and Athlon are no longer going to be the vast majority of AMD's business as they once were. This is immaterial to how many frames per second AMD's next GPU gets at 2160p, but it's material to understanding why AMD builds a GPU so powerful and charges that price, etc.
At the end of the day just looking at benchmarks and dissecting pipelines isn't enough; it tells us what happened but it doesn't tell us why. Understanding the business, the people in it, and the goals is the final piece of the puzzle that makes our understanding of these products complete. And in turn is what allows us to write better articles and offer better advice (do we suggest a CPU if we know the platform is at a dead end? etc).
As for advertising, that's above my pay grade. Advertising is handled by a 3rd party and whether to rely upon it or not for funding is something that's up to Anand. I just write about the things I'm interested in and collect a paycheck for it. Reply
TheJian - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkSo why not report on something like Grid and K1 winning awards at computex (highly sought after gold award for K1)? With grid probably because over the last 3 quarters they went from 100 testing grid, then 200 testing grid, and this last Q now having 600 major companies testing grid. Interest like that doesn't make the news here...No need for an Nvidia portal and understanding NV products that are gaining some massive interest (especially grid, and car tech for K1)?. Where is the Nvidia portal? Where is the shield update coverage which added a LOT of features, causing tomshardware etc to re-review it and test the new features. They have the largest gpu market share in discrete/workstations buy far but you ignore them, grid info etc. I just went through the 3 pages of computex stories, and nothing on Nvidia. Nothing on Supermicro pitching grid. etc. Made it to tons of other booths, nothing on NV. IT's like they don't exist on anandtech...LOL.
NVIDIA Gamers day at computex...Nothing from anandtech...WOW. They gave away a Titan-Z, Shields, Tegra Note7's.
Supermicro grid info from computex
I digress... Reply
lmcd - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkHonestly, the K1 isn't interesting because everyone got burned by Tegra 4. AMD has been far more open about failures than Nvidia has.
Nvidia ticks the most boxes... but that doesn't mean they're the most innovative or interesting. Maxwell is interesting, but it's not like we got to see anything. If Maxwell had been showing we'd have seen something. Titan-Z is overpriced, Shields are a flop, and the TNote7 loses to Snap 800 devices.
Sorry about that.
Oh, and I'm waiting for Maxwell coverage so don't count me biased. I'm in the Nvidia boat. Reply
Egg - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkI'm with lmcd... what's the only shipping K1 product? http://www.anandtech.com/show/8022/xiaomi-announce... this? Reply
TheJian - Sunday, June 15, 2014 - linkNo only announced. You can't SHIP anything without having the chips in your hands for 4.5-6 months. So I don't understand your statement. Nothing will really be announced until AFTER shield2, and they know how many they can start shipping to others. If you were making ANY products, would you announce them before finding out if you can even get enough for a product launch? NO. That just ends up pissing off customers stuck on backorder. Everyone works like this. Reply
TheJian - Sunday, June 15, 2014 - linkYou do realize they won the shows awards right? You may not be interested but people like google etc are. Car makers are etc. We will see how K1 does, but many devices are coming. They are just shipping chips now probably if that as most will go into shield 2 first as they did last year to allow ramp before giving them to bigger customers. Shield is a great way to advertise the chip's qualities during ramp. Shield R1 was july 31st device so not sure why you draw conclusions when likely nobody is getting them. Tell me this again at xmas when the OEM's have had the 4-6 months required to put out a product. I expect them to tell us more at Google I/O shortly and maybe even a gaming tablet announcement by google/nv. I'm sure shield 2 will be all over the floor just like last year front and center (only Anandtech ignored this...as usual).
Not sure how anyone can call shield a flop, they only have to sell 100K to profit, and they don't need to profit for a few years just not lose on it. IT was $10mil to dev, just like grid. The best way to spend money IMHO being so cheap to dev. They just drop in a new chip each year and keep adding more games. Have you been to tegrazone or seen all the console-like stuff on google's play store recently? They are adding massively and quality is on the up. It's not angry birds today, far from it. Have you seen the reviews at amazon etc. 4-4.5 stars, no whiners. Is there any other chip company pushing android so much? This is the first rev that will get deskop gpu's into mobile and people are starting to notice as everyone knows what a kepler is if they're involved in gaming at all. It will keep growing.
They rev the Tegra tabs yearly now. K1 already shown to "thrash" S800,801 and at worst tie or better S805.
Just one of the articles. They've already benchmarked denver (not out until xmas), benchmarks are out for shield 2, mipad, thinkvision aio etc. As the gpu gains as the #1 reason you buy mobile instead of the last decade where it was the modem (even anand said it's not about the modem not long ago), we'll see NV take over some sales. We spend ~70% of our time on mobile playing games, and 40-65% of sales at the 4 major stores (google, apple, MS, amazon) are games. When you're pushing games and already have 20yrs+ experience with devs, drivers for games etc. who wins? :) If AMD gets in this race soon I think they can claw their way back up also, but they better hurry. The rest are starting to wake up to the fact that it's all about games (samsung ships gamepads now with top devices, their first demos were with GAMES...LOL), qcom hired 30 devs to show what they can do with their gpus (nothing from these guys yet, but they just hired them early last year IIRC) etc. GDC2013 shows devs massively left consoles for games on mobile/PC (both ~51%, everything else FAR behind as the survey showed from 2013 and 2014 shows).
T4 had no products out there getting benched or announced before shield. But we know K1 is already in devices getting benched. Denver will be inhouse also, unlike Qcom S810 so a gain on battery should be expected that at the least not to mention we already see the dual 2.5ghz matching the quad A15 K1 (2.3ghz). Definitely showing tablet to tablet K1 quad vs. the K1 dual is a very impressive showing for the NV custom in house cpu design. Qcom will be a year late to Custom party this time since they screwed up. So NV joins the custom chips this year (was apple swift, qcom krait), while Qcom drops the ball and goes off the shelf. oops.. I don't see how it's shaping up to be a bad next 12 months for K1 and expect more announcements of products once shield hits next month. As long as they're in xmas products I don't care about much else ;) It should do fairly well and denver will add to that. Reply
MartinT - Monday, June 16, 2014 - linkNvidia basically quitting the consumer SOC market with Tegra and taking their ball to embedded devices should tell you all about the state of that particular part of their business. Reply
Morawka - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkSo this is it, AMD admitting they are giving up on the race to Desktop CPU and Server CPU performance per watt. Reply
silverblue - Friday, June 13, 2014 - link...except there was nothing of the sort to indicate either. Reply
TheJian - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkWell they did say in the slide bleeding edge hurt them and that was on the bad side replaced by language that sure sounds like ZERO bleeding edge chips will come. Reply
silverblue - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkMorawka was referring to AMD giving up on performance per watt, but the slide clearly indicates that they're not.
They're admitting that they cannot hope to be on the same process node as Intel, so they have to focus on getting the best out of what they have. The real telling statement was moving away from high performance products with an emphasis on cores, which - to me - would mean the more agile tactic of creating products with a required number of compute units for a given purpose. AMD have already said that's one of their goals. If you can make more effective use of the hardware on offer, it's cheaper - not to mention far less complex - to reach a specific performance level, meaning if HSA can get traction, it can help mask their performance deficit and help to reduce power usage over more conventional designs. Reply
TheJian - Sunday, June 15, 2014 - linkYou'd rather bet on software tricks, while the other guys have the HARDWARE & software tricks. You'll lose as they have been showing year after year. R&D dropping, 6Billion in losses in the last 10yrs, be lucky to break even for the year this year etc. HSA will take years before it's of any financial value. It took Cuda years too (and billions of funding to get it to where it is today) and cuda6+maxwell gets much of the same benefits. Not to mention pascal etc coming with everything on the PCB with super highspeed links for sharing crap. To me moving away from high perf products just means you're shooting for 2nd/3rd because you can't compete for #1 in anything. That's not something I like seeing.
Process node? So they're admitting something that we've known for a decade? Wow, news. I don't think that's what they meant. Everyone isn't on Intel's node (yet). That's news?
I get what you're saying, but it reads like a company looking in every direction trying to figure out how to compete. I smell desperation all over this. Reply
Phartindust - Monday, June 16, 2014 - linkI don't see how you could arrive at that conclusion. You do know that AMD has 14nm tech on the way right?
And that the 295x2 put a smack down on Titan Z:
Oh, and Richard Huddy left Intel for AMD:
C'mon man! Reply
twtech - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkI guess AMD really hasn't been competitive in the CPU market for some time, so getting out of a race that they were losing makes sense.
The unfortunate side effect to that though is that Intel will continue to set their own pace unchallenged, and so far they've shown that sometimes the pace they select is even too slow for their own good. Reply
bwat47 - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkyep, current intel cpu's are barely even much faster than sandybridge. without competition they just sit on their hands and slowly iterate, while keeping prices high. Reply
MartinT - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkThis claim is so silky in the face of the facts, one has to wonder how much attention you have paid to the CPU market of the past decade.
Intel just introduced a 500 MHz bump for free.
Prices have been stable since the introduction of Conroe 8 years ago, when Intel obliterated AMD by introducing a $320 CPU that outperformed any AMD part, and used a lot less energy to do it, too.
Which is in shark contrast to what AMD did shortly after gaining the CPU crown: they raised prices from $700 to $800 to over $1000 while holding performance back with only 600 extra MHz over the course of 2 2/3rds years. Reply
alacard - Sunday, June 15, 2014 - linkInteresting points, but with regard to your last statement i'd argue that the reason Intel prices aren't higher is simply that they've reached a state of nash equilibrium, in which raising them would not only create a net loss in revenue, but also damage their brand and cause users to start thinking about and researching alternatives.
Intel finds itself in a situation in which most users already have a rig that's fast enough for their needs, and the only way you could get them to maybe, possibly upgrade is if the costs are reasonable (as in more performance for not more than what they're used to paying). Intel can't sell chips if no one wants them, keeping prices stable each generation is a way to keep sales in some sort of equilibrium with their release schedule. Reply
MartinT - Monday, June 16, 2014 - linkAgreed, FABs need to be used to be profitable, but I doubt there would have been a meaningful impact on Intel's utilization if they had offered the 4790K at $5xx rather than $3xx.
That they did not, and have not after years without meaningful competition in that space, should be plenty of answer to the 'Intel's keeping the prices high' crowd. Reply
Antronman - Sunday, June 22, 2014 - linkIntel has to compete with it's own products.
If they released the 4790k at $5xx, nobody would buy it because they could just grab a 4770k for $330, and have performance just a little ways behind, yet they'd save $200 for other parts and peripherals.
If they had released the 4770k at $5xx, people would have bought the 3770k instead, at $330, same situation as the 4790k.
Intel actually does keep its price higher. How do you think they get a profit margin so high? They charge more for individual units, as well as charge more for system building companies like HP and Dell.
Intel knows just how to perform this fine balancing act of keeping prices high enough to make massive profits, yet not so high as to discourage current customers from upgrading and potential customers from taking some of their pricier, more high-end products.
It costs more money for AMD to make their FX processors, yet intel charges much more for their processors.
The around-the-corner i7-5960x is to be sold at $1000. The FX-9590 is sold at $350ish. Reply
Morg72 - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkA big problem for AMD is brand recognition. Many of my clients have no idea who AMD is, but can clearly identify Intel. When i hear about "Intel Marketing" I think of the Blue Man Group commercials, when I hear AMD Marketing, all i can think of it tech news releases. Intel made themselves a household name and AMD was relegated to being known as a cheaper alternative to Intel, like an off-brand. Even in the days where they had superior CPU's, they were only really known as an Intel alternative. They really need to find a way to make themselves better known. I have never seen a AMD commercial of any kind.
I was hoping AMD was just "playing possum" and would release a great CPU to send Intel reeling, but with this, I can't see that ever happening. Reply
nunya112 - Sunday, June 15, 2014 - linkno one cares. AMD are too far behind intel on CPU tech they may as well just become a GPU only company.
AMD did a PR thing about going to space, and instead of getting good positive thoughts about it. every comment and post was telling them to get back to work! AMD has a cult following because its early days they really did hurt big CPU and ppl loved them for it. now they do nothing 4 the investors but cost us money Reply
Antronman - Sunday, June 22, 2014 - linkWrong, wrong wrong oh so wrong.
Sorry, but you're wrong.
AMD was ahead when they used Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) architectures. (Intel still does). Both dealt with the same problems and advantages, but AMD was just much better at manipulating SMT to get maximum power. They designed their architectures to be able to run circles around intel. Then, with Bulldozer, they tried to run even bigger circles around intel, by creating a Clustered Multi-Threading (CMT, or modular) architecture. 1 module was 2 out-of-order cores that shared early pipeline stages. Each one had different independent resources (cache, etc.) Basically, with Sandybridge coming up AMD needed to fight the emerging hyper-threaded threat. So they did the opposite, hoping it would speed up processing. They made it so that each core in each module was single-threaded, and together, 1 module = 2 threads. It was horribly inefficient. The modules took up a lot of die space, and needed a lot of power to satisfy their need to supply each module. They were absolutely crushed by multithreaded performance, and single because a single-threaded app would be split apart in the early pipeline, but a multi-threaded app would be condensed in the later pipeline stages.
AMD recently announced that excavator (2016) would be SMT. Fingers crossed for another big one from the comeback king.
On top of that, looking at intel's release patterns, we see this:

Broadwell (Q1 2015)
Skylake (2016 or 2017???)
Their gap is widening, and while tick-tock says Skylake should be 2016, intel hasn't used tick-tock for long enough for us to be able to predict everything, and if you look at the widening gap, it started half a year apart, now it's a year apart, so it could be 2 years apart. Reply
WC20 - Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - linkIf this was a generic situation you would be correct; however, AMD doesn't own the x86 instruction set, they license it from Intel. The cross-licensing agreement doesn't permit AMD to license the ISA to anyone else thereby requiring them to sell the chips to Microsoft and Sony. AMD makes a profit selling the chips and not royalities as is the norm. Reply

A 31-year-old Cambridge man alleged to have purchased illegal narcotics with his juvenile son in the vehicle Monday night remained incarcerated in the Guernsey County jail on a felony investigation hold issued by Guernsey County sheriff's deputies.
Authorities declined to release the suspect's identity pending the filing of formal charges.
He was arrested during a traffic stop on Whitaker Road at approximately 10 p.m.
According to reports, a woman called the sheriff's office at approximately 9 p.m. Monday to report her son was with his father and she received a text from her son advising he believed his dad purchased illegal narcotics with him in the vehicle.
The caller provided deputies with a description of the vehicle and a possible location.
Deputies responded to the area and located the vehicle, initiating the traffic stop on Whitaker Road near the intersection with Route 209.
Deputies reported the male driver initially failed to stop when emergency lights were activated, but he stopped nearby at a storage facility at 9:16 p.m. A sheriff's K-9 unit was requested at the scene.
Approximately 40 minutes later, a deputy reported suspected illegal narcotics were found and the male was taken into custody.
He was transported by deputies to the jail on the felony hold just after 10 p.m.
The report did not indicate what happened to the juvenile son reportedly in the vehicle with his father. It was believed he was released into the custody of a relative.
No additional information regarding the incident had been released as of press time Tuesday.
The incident remained under investigation by the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office.

(My favorite poem, thoroughly edited and revised, 3/1-6/12)
Years have passed and vanished like smoke since last we tramped Across the meadows that lay beneath the swirling mists of Glennoch Fell. Miles we wandered then, just two of us, up and down the gentle hills Of heather and bracken, hands joined, lolling past each brook And childish whim, two innocents, laughing, loving, living, Through the fog that seemed to skip and dance forever Across the Highland moor. (Yes, and such a wonder I'm still here To write this verse, and you to read it, what with all the hell And heartache this fell place wrung us through across the years!) Do you remember those twisty, stunted apple trees behindThe house, loaded every autumn with bushels of hard, Rusty nuggets of sweetness, their boughs bent nearly double From the everlasting wind? And standing on my shoulders, Light as a rail you were then, you could just pluck the fruit From the very top branch. I doubt very much we should try that Nowadays! But who could forget your mum's fresh made Bannock cakes, Scalding tea, and a few of those hard sweet apples--What a feast they were then, so many hard times ago!But ah, such times they were, and such unvarnished children we,On those few days of clean white sunshine, running barefoot throughThe oat grass and singing as high and long and loud as voice could reach--And you were always better! But old times turn to new times, And they in turn go gray. So I fell for one, and you another, And we left drear Glennoch Fell. Children came, and brightened usWith their tears and laughter. But they grew and left, as must be so,And seldom knew the simple joys we shared so very long ago,Two red topped kids drifting across the Scottish moor.And so life passed, one day trudging into the next, wrapped in toil,Cloaked in troubles, yet sprinkled with sugary moments of gladness forever.But our mournings came, and we laid to rest those who'd shared our livesAnd joys and silver hair! Who'd have thought that bent and gray, We'd finally share a hearth--a life of memories behind us,And what trove of rarest treasures still ahead? And who better than you, O dear one of my childhood, to walk hand in hand beside me, As in those misty days of yet unfading childhood, two old horses Heading for the barn as we return at last to Glennoch Fell?

When asked if Congress may take another look at the Volcker Rule and make changes with new legislation, Mayer said "there has to be a congressional decision on whether or not an enterprise itself can engage in enterprise-level risk hedging. The law that was passed would suggest that that's prohibited and that the hedging must be done on a deal-by-deal basis." "Dodd-Frank was passed quickly amidst serious global atmospherics, and having hearings to have Volcker more closely aligned with international financial institutions would be worthy, so that U.S financial institutions are not art a competitive disadvantage," he said," adding that "Congress needs to have a full and robust discussion with the industry to avoid unintended consequences." -- Written by Philip van Doorn in Jupiter, Fla.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- The mood at the Crisler Center where thousands of University of Michigan fans watched the NCAA Championship was subdued, but fans said they are proud of the team despite the loss.
Although the game was played Monday night in Atlanta, the atmosphere inside the center in Ann Arbor rivaled a home game: sunglasses with blue and yellow lights blinking in a sea of blue and yellow T-shirts, waving flags, jerseys and pompoms, with deafening cheers and chants drowned out only by the band.
"They were clapping and cheering as through the players could hear them, and I thought that was exciting," said 65-year-old Ann Arbor-area resident Briita Hall after the game. "I am disappointed I would have loved to have won it, but I don't think we have anything to be embarrassed about or make excuses for."
John Paul, who lives in Ann Arbor, said he is still really proud of the team.
"From where they were when Coach (John) Beilein took them over a six years ago to where they are now, it's a pretty spectacular ascent. Only two teams got to play tonight, so it's pretty special."
The Crisler Center was almost at its full capacity of more than 12,000 people and the crowd was near-deafening at times.
"That's one of the great things about being at a place like Michigan," Paul said. "This kind of atmosphere, everybody cares so much. You're in a room with 12,000 friends who all feel the same way you do."
Stu Knight, 33, said he made the drive to Ann Arbor with his father Monday afternoon from Bowling Green, Ohio.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he said before the game. "When is the next time you're going to see this? Other than next year, when they go to the (championship) game again."
He said the game watch is a chance for someone like him, who has never been the Crisler Center, to experience what a real game is like.
"Sometimes you can't afford to go to the actual basketball game during the year because the ticket prices are so high or it's just sold out," he said.
At halftime, some students started to spill onto the court, dancing to the music and taking pictures. When the game went to a commercial break, some cheerleaders threw t-shirts into the crowd.
Ann Arbor police said they were stepping up patrols to make sure Michigan's try for its first national title since 1989 doesn't lead to disorder. Campus police said they also would have extra officers on duty.
Diane Brown, spokeswoman for the University of Michigan Police, said there have been reports of small incidents around campus, but no significant property damage or injuries. She said the Ann Arbor Fire Department has responded to some burning items, but nothing is out of control.
Meg Savel, a 22-year-old senior, said the atmosphere on campus during the Wolverine's trip to the championship had been electric. She said many students have been focusing more on athletics than their studies.
"Everyone came in there just like crazy, hyped." said 21-year-old senior Ameer Al-Gharib as he was leaving the arena. "People are still happy. Everyone is going to be proud of the team regardless."

For years, Pizza Pizza has marketed itself with an easy-to-remember phone number in its advertising jingle. Now, the company is making it even simpler, with a new wireless app that allows customers to order a pie at the touch of a button.
The Canadian pizza chain launched its free app for Apple's iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch on Monday, allowing customers to order their pizza, pay for it, and keep track of the chain's guaranteed delivery time.
The app also allows consumers to save their top orders, access promotional offers and find the closest retail location.
"Convenience is one of the reasons people enjoy pizza," Paul Goddard, chief executive officer of Pizza Pizza, said in a statement Monday. "We're very proud of our app's simplicity, it's unlike any other in our industry. This launch is an important part of our broader mobile strategy."
Mobile growth
The company's move into mobile commerce comes at a time when 30 per cent of orders are placed on the chain's website. "We think [the app]is another powerful facet of our business to keep Pizza Pizza top of the mind in our marketplace," Pat Finelli, the company's chief marketing officer, said in an interview. "We're always following trends that make us No. 1."
The human touch
Expanding the automated ordering system will help the chain keep labour costs down and minimize wage increases.
"Instead of the costs going up, if anything it has frozen the cost from going up for our franchisees," Mr. Finelli said.
He noted that the new technology will also eliminate the room for human error, making it less likely for wrong orders or incorrect delivery locations.
University staple
The app will also make it easier for one of Pizza Pizza's top demographics, university students, to get their pizza fix.
Students will soon be able to pay for their orders using their university's meal card plan.
"It's a real staple because it's cheap, it's good enough and there are plenty of locations nearby," said Ian Vandaelle, a third-year student at Toronto's Ryerson University.Report Typo/Error

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/3/2013 (1605 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
VICTORIA -- Brad Jacobs didn't show any jitters in his first appearance at the world men's curling championships.
The Canadian skip opened the tournament Saturday with a 7-6 victory over Rui Liu of China.
The win was much more convincing than the score indicated. Jacobs built up a 7-2 lead while curling at a 96 per cent success rate.
"I thought we would be a little more nervous than we were, because we never played in the worlds before, and everyone's there, and all eyes on us cheering for us," said Jacobs.
"It was wild, but we weren't nervous. But because we weren't nervous, it allowed us to come out and play our game. It was awesome all around."
Jacobs is attempting to give Canada a fourth consecutive title. The 27-year-old Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., native is the youngest Canadian skip to compete for a world championship since Edmonton's Kevin Martin at the age of 24 in 1991.
"It was definitely everything I hoped it would be," said Jacobs. "We were on sheet A and the whole side of sheet A was pretty much packed (with fans.) When we walked out before the game, the fans cheered. And every shot, they were cheering us throughout the game.
"Even though you're into the game, you still hear what people say. You still hear what they yell at you, and it's nice to have those words of encouragement."
But he and his rink, which includes the front-end brother tandem of E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden and third Ryan Fry, did not need much.
The game was decided after Jacobs stole one point in both the fourth and fifth ends and scored three more in the seventh to take the commanding 7-2 lead.
Liu scored two in the eighth, and stole one more in the ninth as Jacobs missed a takeout attempt. But Jacobs effectively ran Liu out of rocks in the 10th end, thanks to a key double takeout by E.J. Harnden, while giving China a meaningless steal of one.
"Even in the ninth end, (when) we missed that double (takeout) on my last one, we knew we were in control that whole game," said Jacobs.
It was Jacobs' lone game of the day. He will take on Finland (0-1) and Scotland (opening-draw bye) today.
"We're going to have to come out and do exactly what we did against China -- come out firing and try to get a (read on) the ice as quick as we possibly can."
In the opening end, Jacobs hit and rolled behind cover in the 12-foot ring with his second shot, forcing Liu to draw to the button to score one with the hammer.
But Jacobs showed his draw skills in the second end. With Jacobs lying two, Liu took out the Canadian skip's shot stone and rolled behind a logjam of rocks.
But another Jacobs stone was shot rock and he deftly drew to the button to score two and take a 2-1 lead.
"We had a very good chance in the second to lay three, force (Jacobs) to one, and he ended up getting two," said China co-coach Lorne Hamblin, a Morris, Man., native.
"But the Canadians put on a clinic. I was really pleased to see the guys come back and make him throw his last shot, because that's what you want to do."
Liu had a chance to score one in the third. But rather than tie the game, he chose to blank and keep the hammer.
However, Liu could not take advantage of last shot in the fourth end. With his final throw, Jacobs busted up a logjam of stones, leaving three Canadian shot rocks. Liu took out the one that mattered most, but his shooter rolled too far, enabling Jacobs to steal one and take a 3-1 lead.

Soapbox: Give The Wire a Chance
Here's how much critics love The Wire: The show's Wikipedia page has has a running list of major publications, including Time and Entertainment Weekly, that have called it the best show on television. Yet the show, which kicks off its fifth and final season of exploring the darkest side of Baltimore on Sunday, has been mostly ignored by both awards shows and viewers.
As a relatively recent convert to the show myself, I can understand why it's had a tough time. The show doesn't hold your hand; it throws you headfirst into a world with dozens and dozens of characters, from drug dealers and their bosses to city government to dock workers to middle schoolers to the cops who step in when things go horribly wrong. I had to watch the pilot twice before I knew a single character's name, and it wasn't till the halfway point of the first season that I was confident I knew what was going on. The show is also unflinchingly realistic — which can make it seem brutally bleak. People are shot and killed, for any reason and no reason; sometimes good triumphs, but the picture is usually murkier than that.
Still, it's not all darkness and destruction, so
For one thing, the show is funny — it's a subtle humor, an ironic humor, but it often makes me laugh out loud. For another, the main characters are complex but ultimately sympathetic; Detective Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) has made more bad decisions than I can count (and I'm only partway through the third season!), and yet I can't help but root for him. And the show certainly deserves credit for its ambition, exploring what makes a modern city run — and falter — one piece at a time.
This final season focuses on the media, with segments set at creator David Simon's old employer, The Baltimore Sun. I'm rushing through my DVDs on Netflix so I can be ready for the series' finale; will any of you be watching with me? To watch a preview for this season, just

Ke$ha woke up feeling like P. Diddy after learning that her first effort 'Animal' ends Susan Boyle's six-week reign on Billboard Hot 200.
As it was predicted earlier, Ke$ha indeed replaces Susan Boyle on the top spot of Billboard Hot 200 this week. Her first studio album "Animal" opens with 152,000 copies, forcing Susan's "I Dreamed a Dream" to fall to No. 2 with 93,000 (down 32%) after a six-week run at the top.
"THIS morning, thanks to all my fans, I TRULYYYY woke up feeling like P. Diddy with a #1 album!!!!!" Ke$ha told MTV. "Hollerrr!! I want to thank everyone who bought a copy of 'Animal', and I can't wait to see you on the road!!!! WOW!"
Beside sitting at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 200, Ke$ha also successfully extends her reign on Billboard Hot 100 with "Tik Tok" and claims the No. 7 position with "Blah Blah Blah". Moreover, she secures the top two slots of Digital Songs chart. "Blah Blah Blah" which features 3OH!3 debuts at No. 2, while "Tik Tok" stays at No. 1.
Ke$ha becomes the first artist to simultaneously have her debut album and single sitting at No. 1 on the U.S. Albums and Singles charts since Leona Lewis led the lists with "Bleeding Love" and "Spirit" in 2008. In addition, she becomes the first artist to ever hold the top two slots on Digital Songs chart with her first two singles since Black Eyed Peas did so with "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling" in July 2009.
Back on Hot 200, Ke$ha's "Animal" is the only new entry on the chart. The others sitting at the Top 10 is ranging from Lady GaGa's "The Fame" at No. 3, Alicia Keys' "The Element of Freedom" at No. 4 and Mary J. Blige's "Stronger With Each Tear" rounding up the Top 5.

- "I Dreamed a Dream" - Susan Boyle
- "The Fame" - Lady GaGa
- "The Element of Freedom" - Alicia Keys
- "Stronger With Each Tear" - Mary J. Blige

wootwoot wrote:Nice to see the team playing better the last 2 games. More teamwork shown on both ends of the floor than in previous games. Mavericks played badly tonight, but that is not the only reason we won. We have faced other teams this season that have played badly and still beaten us easily.
Positives I take from the past two games are better teamwork/chemistry, better production from bench, better pace for the team (Run and gun B-ball is not advisable for a team with poor individual defending guards. I think this team is built for a slower pace where running happens only off of open-court & top-of-key turnovers - the slower pace allows you to limit turnovers and long rebounds where half your team is still running towards the opponent's basket, which in turn allows you to set up your defense so you can defend as a team instead of having 1 or 2 individuals back on D), and having the team's best performing players (this season) on the court for significant minutes together. This team will still struggle against more talented teams who play well, but if they play together like they have the last 2 games, their winning percentage will go up.
Also, it was really fun for me to see T-Ross & Demar on the fast break together a few times tonight!
Casey ball should be low turnover, grind it out basketball. It is why I favour us using more low postscoring if we make a trade. Someone like Luis Scola/Millsap would be ideal, but maybe Ed Davis can play the role.

Musgraves gives the first TV performance of the song, which is not included in her Grammy-winning album 'Same Trailer Different Park'.
Kacey Musgraves delivered the first TV performance of her track titled "The Trailer Song" while taking the stage of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday night, June 12. Standing against a trailer backdrop, the country star was joined onstage by a band. She played her guitar as she told her nosy neighbor to mind her own business.
"Keep your two cents on your side of the fence/ Girl, we ain't friends, we're just neighbors/ Ain't nothin' to see here/ Go back to your trailer," she sang. "Don't ask me if I go to church/ I won't ask if your husband's still out of work/ Try and claim high society/ We get our mail on the same side of the street."
"The Trailer Song" is not featured in "Same Trailer Different Park", Musgraves' newest album which won the Best Country Album award at last January's Grammys.
Later this month, Musgraves will join Katy Perry for the North American leg of "Prismatic" world tour. The tour opens in Raleigh on June 22 and will run until October.

The 'Honey Boo Boo' Nature Special Needs to Be Real
Did we call this one or not? Unless you've been hitting the campaign trail hard in the last few months, or are making some sort of political statement against your cable provider, chances are you've caught a glimpse of the southern fried crazy that is Honey Boo Boo child and her family.
And because television loves a good spinoff, what better way to embrace this phenomenon than with yet another Honey Boo Boo program? (Or at least that's what Jimmy Kimmel decided. )
In the above clip, watch as the late night comic compares the Thompson clan to a "whiter, obese version of the Kardashians, with about half as many teeth" and contemplates a show pitch for the Discovery Networks. We're kind of annoyed we didn't come up with this nature show idea first, it's just that genius. And, hey, they can use Honey Boo Boo's "Go Go Juice" as bait.

To see what you've been missing in the world of low-profile baitcasters.
How do I use it?
Like any old baitcaster, except a lot smoother and easier, thanks to 10 ball bearings.
What sets it apart?
This incarnation of the SX is 25 percent lighter than previous models, yet it's also received a host of upgrades. The Carbon Matrix drag makes fighting fish a breeze, while the Infini II spool holds more line that you'll ever need. It's available in 6.4:1 and 7.1:1, the latter taking up 29 inches of line per turn of the reel handle. For added power, a D2 Gear system keeps things running smoothly when the pressure is on.
How much?

I need advice on if I should breakup the background as in giving a div for the top, middle, and bottom orshould I keep the background as one element?(The reason I'm asking is because the split is diagonal kinda and not horizontal.)
If separate, I need help with the markup, because usually I would section of the header and make that background the top, but the split is diagonal and I'm not sure if that would effect the box.
I would do it in 3 seperate divisions. The top would become the background of the header div, the main area would repeat in the main content div and then the bottom would be the background of the footer div.
Rough example: http://benpartch.org/dropbox/examples/example/
Download the files I used:
Hope it helps.
Thankyou for the advice. I was thinking that would be the best choice.
Hey Barry,
Yeah, breaking the background up is definitely a must in the event of your content growing larger than what the background can hold. by making the 'middle' part of the background repeatable then this will repeat to hold all content no matter how large the page grows.
Yeah So I decided not to break the background. I was getting some issues with the background spacing apart only when the first element in the "inner" was a list.However, when I removed the list, it worked fine. Also, the orange bottom isn't the footer..just the end of the main content..
So I think on this design I won't break it..
So a lesson I learned on this website is to design it right the first time to save time in the long run.. haha.

Chris H is a Teacher and Deputy Head of Fairstead House School, Newmarket. He was a scientist in cancer research, working with tissue samples, "I can remember getting a sample and it was a 23 year old male who had obviously died from this cancer and it was just something in that and I thought I want life around me. I want living around me." So he became a teacher instead.

- How to Read a Study Record
The investigators hypothesize that cefazolin perfusion to subcutaneous adipose tissue is reduced in morbidly obese patients. The primary objective of this exploratory pilot study is therefore to investigate target site (subcutaneous adipose tissue) penetration of cefazolin in morbidly obese patients and non-obese patients. The investigators aim to examine whether and how cefazolin plasma concentrations are predictive of subcutaneous (target) cefazolin concentrations. Possible factors of influence on the distribution of cefazolin (tissue perfusion, body weight, distribution of adipose tissue, other) will be identified.

BUDDING artists from as young as two have been involved in a major community arts project to help welcome the Tour de France.
The first painting sessions of the Road Through York have been showing off the talents of people in the city, and now more residents are being invited to join in.
The project, run as part of City of York Council's York: Be Part Of It arts programme to welcome the Tour de France, aims to re-create an original painting by Karen Winship in 320 one- metre-square sections, painted by individual artists from the community.
Councillor Sonja Crisp, York council's Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture and Tourism, said: "When complete, the piece will be exhibited at York Racecourse on July 6 when air-borne cameras will hopefully relay it to the estimated 3 billion watching the Tour de France on TV across the globe."
Taking inspiration from the work of David Hockney, the piece pays homage to some of the most famous and much-loved landmarks of York.
Amateur artists from adult education classes, residential homes, schools and charitable-based organisations as well as people who simply want to be part of it are invited to join in.
Painting sessions have involved people from two to 90.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has approved the increased maximum gross weight for the Bell 429, Bell Helicopter announced today at Airshow China 2012 in Zhuhai. This approval makes China the 12thcountry to endorse the increased maximum gross weight for the Bell 429 based on Transport Canada's certification. Transport Canada approved operation of the Bell 429 at 7,500 pounds (3,400 kg) in January after an extensive technical evaluation.
The Bell 429 light-twin IFR helicopter serves the air medical, law enforcement, oil and gas, utility and corporate aviation segments. It is certified for single or dual pilot IFR, Category A/JAROPS performance Class 1 at maximum gross weight. The helicopter is one of the first certified through the MSG-3 process, resulting in reduced maintenance costs for operators.
According to Bell, the increased gross weight configuration includes helicopter terrain awareness warning system (HTAWS), a radar altimeter, cockpit voice/flight data recorder and forward flashing lights. The increase in the maximum gross weight of the Bell 429 allows operators to carry more payload and/or fuel, expanding the capability of the aircraft in any mission requirement.
With China's large and geographically diverse landscape, the extra fuel is appreciated. "The approval of the Bell 429 gross weight increase in China allows Bell Helicopter to better serve the multi-mission needs of our customers in China," said Danny Maldonado, Bell Helicopter's executive vice president of commercial sales and marketing.

National Football League has gone from suing M.I.A. for $1.5 million to $16.6 million. The British rapper made fun of the lawsuit by asking Madonna for financial help. "ummm ..... can i borrow 16 million?" she tweeted to Madonna.
NFL sued M.I.A. for flipping the bird during her performance at the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show. In the documents filed in March 2012, the league claimed the act breached her performance contract and harmed the NFL's reputation. They also complained that it was not a spontaneous expression but rather a "blatant, intentional and calculated attempt by M.I.A....to garner worldwide publicity and attention for herself."
On Friday, March 14, NFL stepped up their legal action by demanding $15.1 million in "restitution" on top of the $1.5 million they were already chasing. The additional money will cover "the alleged value of public exposure she received by appearing for an approximately two minute segment during Madonna's performance. The figure is based on what advertisers would have paid for ads during this time."
M.I.A. has responded to the lawsuit, saying, "The claim for restitution lacks any basis in law, fact, or logic." Her spokesperson added in the response papers that the "continued pursuit of this proceeding is transparently an exercise by the NFL intended solely to bully and make an example of Respondents for daring to challenge NFL".
She argued that other halftime performances in the past had displayed offensive gestures. She stated in the papers that Michael Jackson "repeatedly grabbed or fondled his genitalia especially while he sang 'Billie Jean' " at 1993 Super Bowl. Prince also caressed the neck of his guitar "as if stroking an erect oversized phallus."
M.I.A. is yet to get a response from Madonna.
