AMD has gainedconsiderable market share in the budget computing segment since last year'slaunch of the Llano APU, with "good enough" CPUperformance balanced with entry discreet level graphics to boot. Afterthe uncompetitive showing of Bulldozer with theirFX enthusiast chips and Opterons, followed by harrowing departures ofhistorically key personnel, the remaining team went back to the drawingboard and made a few tweaks to their 32nm BD core architecture. Theirefforts resulted in Piledriver, which will debut with the2012 Trinity Mobile APUs today and then feature inserver and desktop product refreshes later this year. Is this the light atthe end of the tunnel or just another epic facepalm for AMD?
