From AMD's perspective it could be argued the separation of RDNA and CDNA was the right approach as it allows them to ship silicon with greater margin or a choice to at least compete better with Nvidia. Remember AMD was heavily in debt and was only worth a few billion. They even had to see their HQ and lease it back for cashflow. They were extremely conservative in a lot of things pre 2020 / 2021. It is nice they now have more resources and could focus on the GPU / AI market.
