"Mastering the dark art of the perfect mining config file is weirdly fun" :D

would be nice to see if they do more in the mining-space, like asrock.

A much more specialized hardware support for SHA256 and s-crypt would be very, very interesting addition to their VGA cards..

Very good news but.. why they used lottocoin instead of litecoin?
Scrypt ASICs producers designers won't be happy..

It would be interesting if AMD started making ASICs. They have the funds, machinery, and employees to completely out compete the existing manufacturers.

They could (and probably they should!) but I think it's too early, mining is a "niche" and it's rapidly shrinking.
I'd like to know what's the percentage of GPUs used for mining against the total sold, what do you think guys? 3-5% being optimistic?
