   That's pretty jaded IMHO. I would think most management wants positive change, not just to be shielded from criticism. But reasonable people can disagree about what the status quo is, how good or bad that status quo is, what counts as

    That's comparing street prices for a CPU at the end of its sales cycle, with the MSRP for a next-gen CPU. Yes AMD raised prices, but the difference is $50 if you compare like for like (the MSRP for the 3600X when it launched was $250).
