[ale] ot: cpu laptop

[Jim Kinney]

Ouch. 

AMD is not doing well. After kicking Intel in the teeth a decade ago
with the Opteron they ran into build issues, stumbled, and have never
recovered their momentum. They still don't have a PCIe v.3 capable
chipset. It's been 4+ years since PCIe v.3 came out. That alone will
kill them in the server market. 

Their consumer cpu's are still a better bang for buck line-up than Intel
but they can't sell enough of what looks like last year's technology to
the gamer crowd or the business box buyer.

I don't expect to see them around in 2020 and that will be a bad thing.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
