    What? He ran out of more things to ruin for AMD? Atleast they get rid of his highly overpayed wage then.

    A moment for taking of breaths:
    I think everyone on this forum, both AMD lovers and Intel lovers, wants to see AMD not only survive, but prosper.
    It is in all of OUR best interests that they do so.
    We will tease here and there and I'm guilty of that myself, but I truly want them to do well.

    Id do it for £40K a year.

    What does a CEO actually do? make speeches and get scape-goated? I could do that if it would help the bigger picture, sure.
