K8 pretty much sold itself because it was a Killer architecture.

Everything under Hector's watch has gone downhill....need I say more?
In terms of the K8 being a good product, yes... and when AMD got to the point they could deliver in volume, it really made a difference.

However, I would tend to disagree ... in part. Hector orchistrated bringing AMD out of the doldrums of being a second rate supplier to a credible player. He pushed the customer centric culture and philosophy and under his watch penetrated markets AMD has never ever been before.

That does not mean his departure would not be a good thing, the current strategy of market share at all costs is driving the company into the ground.
