While he drove their burly competition with Intel, he's also responsible for AMD's poor acquisition of ATI and its struggles of late, like losing money for seven straight quarters, leading them to dump their handheld and DTV businesses.

Angry about Intel following AMD's lead in areas like X86-64 (64-bit) technology yet dominating the market, Ruiz let loose to the media.

"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel.
Oh, but there's more!
Intel continues... to abuse their monopoly and that's why around the world governments and regulatory agencies continue to go after them.
Oh, no he didn't. Oh, yes he did. [gulfnews via theinquirer]]]> http://gizmodo.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=328922&view=rss&microfeed=true
