ZDNet Asia reports AMD plans to focus more on its server business. AMD director of field applications engineering Greg Poole said AMD is heavily investing into the server space to tap into future growth.
Greg Poole, director of field applications engineering at AMD, told ZDNet Asia in an interview Tuesday that making chips for desktops and laptops is its "bread and butter" business.

"If you look at the client computing business, which could be considered as our 'bread and butter', I'd say we have substantially more revenue generated from the client business including desktops and notebooks," he said.

However, this area is "largely a commodity business now" and is difficult for the company to hit the margins it wants to, the director added.
