Who in their right mind, in the chips industry would consider taking the CEO job at AMD? In order to thrive, you'd need to be smart, lucky, and able to convince Intel to let you. Intel, on the other hand seems interested in the survival of AMD, but only inasmuch as it keeps the FTC and Justice Dept. from sending nasty letters about monopolistic business practices. Add to that, they both have to worry about ARM eating their lunches.
tl;dr Nobody with any sense would take the CEO job at AMD.
