and leaving Intel for "personal reasons"... We only can guess what they can be?

  His child has leukemia. I suspect he would have left no matter what though, because Intel is so arrogant they wouldn't listen to him in the manner in which they would to. That was the great thing about AMD; when you're already at rock bottom, you're humbled enough to listen to people.

    I think this is an important reason, being down and hungry can do wonders for focus and quality. On the other hand doing well over many years means that wrong people got promoted and stay around and grow a big middle management layer that is invested mostly in themselves. AMD either did well or went broke which forces management to take painful but important decisions.
