All that time with little opposition against Intel has finally taken its toll on AMD, who today posted low numbers and will be cutting back drastically. While we're not sure what those non-essential businesses are, it can't be anything good for the CPU maker.

It's losses don't only come from their CPU business, but also from ATI, who has fallen far from their form due to NVIDIA's aggressive push. Even with their better Vista drivers, ATI just hasn't been able to supply good enough hardware to really compete with NVIDIA head to head.

AMD taking a beating from both Intel and NVIDIA, who we've seen lately battling back and forth the last two weeks, is stuck in the middle and not gaining anything out of it. Though this isn't the first time it's happened, and we're hoping to see some serious innovation from them.
