I would like to add that they made a profit of $89 million nearly double the profit in the quarter prior. Let's see if they can keep it up.

I figured how much a bitch Nvidia could be these days with proprietary crap, so I'm all AMD now. I do prefer Intel over AMD though of because better single core performance although I have an FX 8350 and I'm fine with it.
AMD has some pretty neat architecture features like HSA and clustered cores that do threads simultaneously compared to hyperthreading.
Yeah the FX 8350 is an excellent CPU, keeps up with intel's high end CPU and even beats it in some cases.
And HSA is pretty cool. I have high hopes for HSA and the potential it brings.

I'm glad the console deal went through since there graphics cards plan has been a laughing stock the last 3 months or so
If you are talking about the stock they have then yes. Other wise the R9 290/290X are excellent GPUs. This is what really pi**ed me off about AMD. It's been TWO FREAKING months yet they R9 290/290X are still overpriced. This is unacceptable. I have been looking for a R9 290 but there is no WAY that I am going to be paying for those at the price they are selling them on newegg.

I think Bitcoin mining has helped them a lot more than the PS4/Xbox One.
I hate Bitcoin miners, they drove the prices of most GPU's up...
I don't know how people can make money off bitcoins..its a digital currency, what can digital currency possibly buy?
trade it for real currency
How can you trade "fake" money for real money? How is this possible?
Well there's something called an exchange rate. And some places do accept bitcoin.
Is it any more strange than going to best buy and giving someone pieces of paper in exchange for a television?
I am just curious how would one go about actually selling their litecoins for actual cash. Do you go to a online place where people would give you money through paypal or something?

These miners are fantastic for the future of custom built PCs, a market who's future is a bit uncertain.
This is a good point. Also, it might make those people who made custom built PCs to keep thier GPUs and actually play PC games on them. Once you play games on the PC I think it would be hard to go back to consoles.
