As previously noted, in my intense study of the Stock Markets and Strategies, I can summarize -- buy low, sell high, but, in most cases, don't plan to "hold" for long term growth over years.
As previously noted, AMD's huge and obvious mistake with FX series CPUs was going for "clock speed" over "instructions per clock".
Comparing "instructions per clock" and "instructions per watt" is the simple way to compare two CPU "technologies" relative chances for longer term success.
AMD is claiming, by their tests, that AMD CPU technology is now competitive with Intel technology. The folks who buy stock would be interested to know their CPU architecture may be "back on the competitive track" -- and the company stock may have "bottomed out" and will now tend to rise (generally speaking). That's relevant because its a primary job of the AMD CEO and management team to grow the stock price (among other things).
