yes and they did not really do well with the 7xxx roll out of the video cards,
they are really good on integer GPU programming but Nvidia beat them with FP GPU programming.
if you want games perforce then it's down to NVidia
if you want bitcoin then it's down to ATI video - though this is going be be hit BIG time by asic mining in the next 6 months - AMD need to take note on this as they will not get more sales on this unless someone can come up with a good Multiscaler general GPU programming solutions [and tasks]
down at the bottom end it's all ARM chips [arm all the way down?] and they are moving up to take the middle ground...
I suggest AMD look at making a CPU / GPU / RAM / single board very small form factor computer in a plug type thing.

yeah 64* 256MB = 16GB
less than that is usable
even if you use the 240Mb split
but you do get 64 processors and 48*64 gpu processors - though using those is going to be a bit hard for a while

Submission + - DEA Lack of Data Storage Results in Dismissed Drug Case (slashdot.org)
Nerval's Lobster writes: "Dr. Armando Angulo was indicted in 2007 on charges of illegally selling prescription drugs. He fled the country in 2004, with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. Marshals Service eventually finding him in Panama.
As the case developed (and Panama resisted calls to extradite Angulo back to the United States), the DEA apparently amassed so much electronic data that maintaining it is now a hardship; consequently, the government wants to drop the whole case.
“These materials include two terabytes of electronic data (which consume approximately 5 percent of DEA’s world-wide electronic storage capacity),” Stephanie M. Rose, the U.S. attorney for northern Iowa, wrote in the government’s July motion to dismiss the indictment. “Continued storage of these materials is difficult and expensive.” In addition, information associated with the case had managed to fill “several hundred boxes” of paper documents, along with dozens of computers and servers.
As pointed out by Ars Technica, if two terabytes of data storage represents 5 percent of the DEA’s global capacity, then the agency has only 40 terabytes worth of storage overall. That seems quite small for a law enforcement agency tasked with coordinating and pursuing any number of drug investigations at any given time."
