Evesham's managing director, Richard Austin, brushed off the news. "All AMD are saying is they are not going to be working with us direct - we'll still buy AMD processors through distribution. It's not going to cause any supply issues to our customers."

Austin claimed it was the first he'd heard of AMD's decision. "I guess we have to rebuild our credibility," he added.
