    Their CPUs are mostly fine now. The “small” cores are very competitive in servers because they are so small for their perf, and TBH that desktop drama was marketing clocking the CPUs way too high to squeak out 4% more benchmark performance.

    It’s… everything else that’s the problem, as work is increasingly shifting away from CPUs. They are totally screwed if they cut funding for Arc, in particular, or if they don’t secure any real fab customers.

      Oh yeah real talk they’ve got some killer datacenter chips, be that networking, CPU or GPU. They’re continuing to work on bleeding edge technologies for hyperscalers, and they’ve got no shortage of insane potential. But when they release two generations of desktop processors with hardware bugs it really puts a heck of a stain on such a stellar portfolio and makes it a lot easier for enterprises to look at AMD for their datacenter and client processors (especially when they’re absolutely killing it like they have been in both segments!)
