OP here, Yes. I got hired by Intel in 2015. I saw the disarray inside the company and I left in 2017. The first thing I did after leaving Intel was to buy a boat load of AMD shares.

AMD will be announcing his deaprture at the close of business today and from what I heard his exit was due to some alleged tensions stemming from Lisa Su. Jim Anderson will be moving on to become CEO of a as of yet unnamed company. Dare I hope it will be one of its rivals? This is a breaking piece so we are short on info right now but I will update the story when I hear more.
