I hope AMD are able to stay afloat. My main concern is that their pattern seems to heavily revolve around hiring Jim Keller repeatedly, putting the hurt on a stagnating Intel for one generation, and then fading into mediocrity as Intel are able to leverage their billions of dollars and larger, parallel tick-tock US/Israel teams to snap back. If AMD can secure a coup like Zen or K8 without him I could see this being a sustainable approach, but I'm skeptical.
