GPU’s are a family business it would seem.

Su’s mother and Nvidia co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang are first cousins. Su’s maternal grandfather is the eldest brother of Huang’s mother.

    Data centre first company is what burned any goodwill I had for AMD. What a complete misstep.

    Edit - we kept them alive for the last 15 years, and this is the thanks we get.

      Are you guys just now learning that corporations have a legal obligation to their shareholders and nobody else? It’s literally built into their DNA like an animal’s drive to reproduce.

      Anyone running AMD who made a different choice would be violating their fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders.

      That’s how C corps are designed.

        They don’t have a legal obligation to their shareholders. This is a a huge lie that is told to scapegoat the CEOs that enable consulting firms to carve up competitors for even bigger money. They have an obligation only to the board members.

        This is an IMPORTANT distinction that is what fuedalized corporate America to such an extreme.

          Here’s an older article from the NYT that goes over in greater detail exactly how correct you are. But let me just say you are so correct and GOD this is a frustrating one to see so commonly believed.
