Yea pretty much. It's too coincidental that AMD had the same issues as Intel is facing when Raja was there vs when he left. Yet somehow he got promoted to become the VP of Intel. Feels like there is an ice burg coming and the captain needs to steer away before hitting it.

Ngl, I know this will sound tin-foil hatted, but over the past few decades I've been noticing CEO's acting nonchalant about making super bad decisions in companies and then getting these life-time amazing golden parachutes, and it's only becoming more and more apparent that those at the top of each company are just looking out for other fellow CEO's in making sure they either stay in office or get a fuck ton of money at the cost of company credit/rep.

It's not just AMD to Intel tho, it's Disney, Nestle, MS, Sony, Nintendo, all of them pretty much (seriously, if you look up Disney's history of leadership under Michael Eisner, Bob Iger and Bob Chapek, you'll notice a decline in company productivity, even Iger was best friends with Chapek and basically appointed him as the current president).

I think it's mainly cause people hire CEOs to make money but not lead the company in the right direction. Intel was a prime example of this for nearly a decade. They could have easily given us more than 4 cores in the consumer space a long time before Ryzen but instead, they focused on maximizing profits. Sadly, same goes for many other companies as well. And the main problem is they are publicly traded vs private.

If you look at a company who's CEO has been there from the start and isn't focused only on maximizing profits... Someone like Valve, you can see a stark difference in leadership vs many other companies. Valve has made mistakes over the years but they do generally listen to people and change their decisions based on feedback. Meanwhile Blizzard these days are like, fuck you and you and everyone else. Here's Diablo Immortal that only whales want! Not to mention Valve has many features that aren't necessarily profitable like remote play together or family sharing where as many other companies wouldn't touch that concept with a 10ft pole.

So overall, I think most companies goes to shit when they go publicly traded and the investors replace their CEOs with one that only focuses on profits.
