You make it sound like that's a sure thing, but I doubt it. A lot of this is about processes, team structures and incentives, all those fuzzy things between the people.
Remember, most acquisitions fail. For the same reason, the likelihood of failure with your scenario seems high.
Do you really think nobody at AMD is aware of all the points made in this thread? That seems too bizarre to be true. There are probably some issues in upper management which could perhaps be fixed with some targeted hiring decisions, but do you really believe some random person on here would have a chance making that call?

There’s this meme that it can’t change on a dime and I believe that. You could build this from scratch in a decade. JFK sent NASA to the moon in less time for comparable money. If NVIDIA shareholders can’t come close? What fucking good are they? Why do our carrier battle groups guard their supply chain?
