This year will be very interesting as they are announcing that they are opensourcing their graphics stack and investing heavily in software development. We may see some significant changes in AMD graphics.
Ah, I meant more gpu really. Nothing against their cpu's, but their hardware and drivers in the linux video realm leave much to be desired.
Amd still lets the ATI division toward linux run like a bastard stepchild to support the hardware with proper drivers. With radeon oss drivers surprisingly don't suck entirely now, despite amd inhibiting open support for fear of opening features to competition.

AMD hell, huh?
I'm writing this on a perfectly good AMD box, bought over Intel because:
1) ALL AMD processors can do hardware assisted VM. No need to carefully
look at specs to make sure you're not getting a no-VM cripple.
2) Cheaper
3) Subjectively, more reliable.
There are all sorts of use cases, and I'd think that the use case of
absolutely needing hardware assisted VM is probably much more common
than needing more than 2x 4k monitors.
I can understand your frustration at not being able to display a short
book's worth of info on your monitor, but don't characterize it as a
blanket indictment of AMD.
