Interesting. :)
Maybe AMD can recycle "Smarter choice".
And save money on marketing. :asd:

I don't like "Smarter Choice" motto. It's too soft, IMO.

Questa se la potevano anche risparmiare, è una campagna pubblicitaria di basso livello. :asd:

Atiq Raza's departure was related to Dresden Fab investment!
https://arstechnica.com/business/2013/0 ... o-intel/3/
"As Raza tells the story today, his boss insisted on building a fab in Dresden, Germany, over Raza's objections. (That fab, which still operates today as part of AMD spin-off GlobalFoundries, was completed in the spring of 2000.)

"The trouble in the entire economic model was that AMD did not have enough capital to be able to fund fabs the way they were funding fabs," Raza said. "The point at which I had my final conflict was that [Sanders] started the process of building a new fab with borrowed money prematurely. We didn't need a fab for at least another year. If we had done it a year later, we would have accumulated enough profits to afford the fab in Germany. He laid the foundation for a fundamentally inefficient capital structure that AMD never recovered from. I told him: don't do it. I put the [purchase orders] on hold. He didn't tell me and accelerated the entire process."

Both Raza and Barton recalled, independently of one another, one of Sanders' mantras: "Real men have fabs." Raza called this comment "simultaneously a sexist remark and the most stupid thing you can say," and he saw the fab decision as one of Sanders' "significant acts of irresponsibility." After he quit, Raza never spoke to Sanders again."

Hi Daniel, welcome aboard!

Yep, Raza disagreed with Jerry about Dresden FAB, but in my opinion Jerry was right about Dresden FAB: thanks to this investment AMD was able to develop a good 130nm process for Sledgehammer and to produce the Athlon64 CPUs quickly. :)
Also, I think Raza left AMD not because of this dispute. According to severals magazines and books, he left due to personal problems. However, should be great to interview Sanders about AMD old times, but he refuses to give interview. :\
