AMD is trying to make "ambidextrous" the new buzz-word for computing.

It announced its roadmap of near- and mid-term computing stuff which it says include the best characteristics of both the x86 and ARM "egosystems".

Apparently ambidextrous has nothing to do with which hand you hold your biro in, but is the mix of AMD gear with ARM.

The cornerstone of this roadmap is the announcement of AMD's 64-bit ARM architecture licence for the development of custom high-performance cores for high-growth markets.

Rory Read, AMD president and CEO claimed AMD was the only company in the world to deliver high performance and low-power x86 with "leadership graphics". Now it was boldly going to provide high-performance 64-bit ARM and x86 CPU cores paired with world-class graphics, which no one had done before,

"Our innovative ambidextrous design capability, combined with our portfolio of IP and expertise with high-performance SoCs, means that AMD is set to deliver ambidextrous solutions that enable our customers to change the world in more efficient and powerful ways," he said, in a statement that makes little sense at all.
