AMD is struggling
This is a hot topic for sure but AMD takes the cake.
What we have seen AMD do in the last year is this dismiss benchmarks altogether as a relevant because they are losing them all! Now, they won one that serves as a cherry picked example of superiority.

The second thing they do is deflect their now uncompetitive microprocessor line in favor of drawing attention to their graphics products. Basically, leverage the equity of the ATI acquisition.
