The problem is AMD management. I've heard a rumor that a perfectly complete Android driver was discarded and thrown into trashcan and the work was (is?) redone in India. Embarrassing.

but really, AMD needs to step this shit up.
Another wild rumor - they fired entire team which job was to manually optimize silicon layout (something like Bitfury did in his IC). Damn cost cutting.
