The firm told The INQUIRER the time taken to transition to 20nm signals the beginning of the end for Moore's Law.

AMD begins cutting jobs, but without a viable roadmap it won't survive
Submitted by l33tdawg on Fri, 2012-11-09 09:10
The job cuts that AMD CEO Rory Read promised a few weeks back have now begun. AMD has closed its Operating System Research Centre (OSRC) in Dresden, Germany. The programmers at the OSRC were responsible for a number of code improvements to Linux, as well as for supporting features like PowerNow and Turbo Core. AMD was 17th on the Top 20 list of Linux kernel contributors through version 3.2, with 2,510 accepted changes or roughly 1 per cent of the total. The OSRC was also apparently working on virtualisation support in Linux 3.6.
