AMD's announcement a few days ago that its revenues were expected to drop 25% raises questions far beyond the welfare of a single company. Put simply, is AMD going to hell, or is the rest of the computer industry going with it? And just how is it going to hell? Some hells are worse than others. Leaving aside the memory manufacturers (who have their own special circle of hell already set aside), if AMD's revenue loss is typical of what other hardware manufacturers are facing, everyone is in hot water if not deep doo-doo.
