    I respectfully disagree. AMD basically said that they survived the Bulldozer debacle because of Sony and Microsoft ordering their APUs. The custom designs also have trickled down with AMD making iGPU that are desktop levels now (8060S).

      If not for consoles, AMD would have likely gone bankrupt or become a marginal player.

      Considering what’s happening with Intel in the past ~7 year, it would have been game over for x86 PC gaming on the CPU front.
