That "bad leadership" dug AMD out of hole and transformed the company into a behemoth. From under $2 a share to around $250 in eight years. I'll invest in that kind of bad leadership all day everyday.


Yup... the first Ryzen/EPYC chips were literally a saving throw.

AMD's driver/software woes compared to nVidia make more sense when you realize they barely made it here at all.


You should compare AMD vs its peers, not its even worse prior state.

AMD should by all rights be a strong competitor to NVIDIA with a big chunk of the AI market. They have nearly nothing. The buck should stop at the top, but with AMD it doesn't.


This uses to be impressive, then you look at the gains that Bitcoin investors have and this is quite paltry, especially when you consider that inflation is 8-10%, per year.


the two statements can be true at the same time: they can still view software developers as second class while having a great hardware vision.

what OP is saying is that after a point it doesn't matter how good your HW is if your SW stack is bad.
