AMD falls, HP rises
Google's share price has struggled a fair bit with a rumour emerging today that it could be cutting a large proportion of its temporary workers, which comprise a third of its work-force. The collapse of its proposed deal with Yahoo! could also have had a negative effect on its shares.
NVIDIA, once more, has suffered a big fall in its share price. This is in spite of it making a big noise in the supercomputing and mobile handset markets. However, the biggest faller is NVIDIA's big graphics rival: AMD.
AMD's shares have plunged a massive 41.1 percent in the past 15 days, in spite of the earlier than expected launch of its new server processor, codenamed Shanghai. This must be deeply frustrating for AMD as it genuinely feels it's taken a big step forward with Shanghai and its soon to be released desktop derivative.
HEXUS.channel spent some time with AMD at its Austin, Texas campus last week and learnt a bit more about what makes it tick. Our report of the experience will be following shortly, so watch this space.
On the positive side, there's really only one: HP, which only today announced refreshingly upbeat revenues, especially from laptops. It would be interesting to know what HP's doing right.
