      Every time Intel makes a release when AMD is about to release their own competitive product, Lisa is seen sitting in a big comfy chair, next to a fireplace, calmly sipping tea at them.

      I don’t watch LTT anymore, but they do have my favorite example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuaiqcjf0bs

      tl;dw: Intel did a last minute reschedule of the embargo on their new HEDT lineup to lift hours before the new AMD Threadripper chips did the same. Those chips could barely keep up with AMD’s current offerings, and everyone involved knew that the new AMD stuff was going to crush it (which it did). Intel bumps the timeline so reviews have to go out (because reviewers have to get them clicks) without being compared to what’s actually going to be sitting on shelves alongside it. Linus sees what they’re doing and absolutely rips into them at the start of the video.

      Maybe intel gets absorbed into amd after Lisa Su becomes ceo.

      IDK if that’s meant as a joke, but I don’t see a single reason why she would do that. She is doing very well at AMD, and the pay is better at AMD.

        Intel is receiving massive subsidies. If you think about it it is miraculous they managed to lose so hard to AMD with all those subsidies.

          Absolutely, AMD was able to make Ryzen on the brink of bankruptcy, I fully expected Intel to make a comeback, with all the resources at their disposal.
          But instead it’s been a long string of failures and at most half successes since 2016.
          I have a bit of AMD stock, but still I don’t really want to see Intel fail.

          Aren’t those subsidies for building new fabs? They aren’t able to use those funds for general operations.
