Quoting Jakshil

It makes a lot of difference to a customer when a company jumps the walls and comes to a place where he spends most of his time eg:- Twiiter.

I could not agree more.

I respect AMD's movement into SM for two reasons:
1) I am first and foremost a customer in the semiconductor industry. I buy CPUs, motherboards and video cards like any other customer. I care about getting parts that I know will be built and supported at a high level of quality. If the trends stay the course, my next video card will very likely be a Radeon, and it's nice to know I'll have an open line if something goes wrong.

2) I am part of the fine staff trying to grow Icrontic into a profitable, career-making operation. A great part of fulfilling this role relies on having access to an endless stream of information. The very best kind of information comes straight from the horse's mouth. It's reassuring to know that I'm 140 characters away from the hard facts with at least one major industry player.

I can assure you that being stonewalled while trying to acquire facts and review samples that would generate nothing but positive press is quite frustrating.

Thank you, AMD, for being open and honest with us... The consumers and the reviewers.
