Re: AMD must be more broad in software support

Short answer; because there's a lot more desktops and laptops out there, running Windows in people's homes, than there is large animation studios.

Sure, AMD probably make more margin (which is a polite way of saying "overcharge") on their server chips, but the low end market outpaces that in volume, by spades.

Financial success comes from the end user market, not government and enterprise.
