AMD’s CEO Lisa Su Pulls Out Her Crystal Ball, Predicts PC Market Growth

Oh, joy! AMD’s CEO, Lisa Su, has suddenly developed clairvoyant abilities and magically foresees the PC market growing seasonally in the second half of this year. Miraculously, she also anticipates better inventory levels. Pardon me while I stifle my yawns of disbelief.

What Might This Hocus-Pocus Mean For The Market?

Now if Su’s prophecy proves true (and why wouldn’t it, she’s proved to be such a reliable source so far, hasn’t she?), it would mean a slight surge in PC sales and stable inventory levels. This could actually land a bit of a sizzle on the frozen tundra of the PC market, but let’s not forget that Su here is predicting growth, not an explosion. So what’s the panic about? Oh right, there isn’t any.

My ‘Hot’ Take

At the end of the day, Su’s ‘seasonal growth’ is about as exciting as watching paint dry. What are we supposed to do with this earth-shattering revelation? If anything, this vague, and frankly, timid prediction serves only to remind us how stagnant the PC market has become. As for the ‘better inventory levels’, whoop-de-doo, Lisa. It’s about time. Now, wouldn’t it be absolutely majestic if AMD could focus on something thrilling like constant innovation, rather than patting themselves on the back for what should be a standard operation? But, hey, who am I to dash one’s hopes of becoming Miss Cleo?
