Oooh, I hope no one has just bought AMD stock.

This is disappointing - AMD need some stability to prove that the recent up-turn in their fortunes can be sustained. Also from Dr Su's perspective, moving from a lean and agile firm, like AMD, to a slow lumbering giant like IBM is likely to be an exercise in frustration.

WCCFTech, if anyone is going to be an outlet for rumours to negatively affect AMD through under the table moneys my money would be on them.

Going out on a limb: but what a ridiculous rumour, AMD are on the up and up and if they can keep their trajectory rolling they will be seriously competitive in many markets and opens them up for new segments in other verticals and technical spaces. Leaving AMD now would be very damaging to their reputation and their upward velocity.

Well I tried to post this but it seems to have disappeared:

I really hope she isn't moving on to take a number two position anywhere. This woman does not deserve to be number 2 at any company, no matter how large. She has taken AMD from a failing, very poor position to turning a profit and competing with the big boys. She may end up being sought after by basket case companies as a fixer, which is someone with a rare talent worth a lot of monies.
