... if you don't expect them to change their development process for bitcoin, then you can only mean for them to aggressively market to miners....

Nope. Just haven't got any reasoning on why they'd *ignore* the B market.

Not big enough to completely overhaul their design process for miners? I agree.

Not big enough to aggressively market to miners? Sure.

So small they make more money flat-out ignoring it?

AMD CEO: Hows our marketshare?

AMD Marketshareguy: It's at X!

AMD CEO: How about that B market? It popped up out of nowhere... do we still have it?

AMD Marketshareguy: Nah, its too small, who gives a fuck amirite?

AMD CEO: HELP WANTED - We need a new marketshareguy.

----------

Now if you're asking what I personally imagine is happening...

AMD Marketshareguy: We've got an intern making $25/yr looking at ways to secure and grow this small market.

Very caustic response, let me ask you then, at what point do you consider B market large or small enough to be the line for AMD CEO to start firing AMD Marketshareguy? If I buy an AMD Radeon 5570 to use as a doorstop because my windy door keeps blowing closed and locking me out, do I get my own $25/yr(?) intern working to figure out how to secure and expand my market? What if I have 5 doors? 10? 100? If I'm ignored I might buy a $2 doorstop or a rock I found on the ground and they'd lose my valuable market right?

Either business is rational and chases statistically significant markets, or they're desperate money fiends that will go after anything that has a dollar to wave at them like a strung out crackwhore. You're free to decide for yourself which you find the most logical.
