But I will rant that the article/blog doesn't have a publishing date at the top or bottom of the article, nor the URL. Plus, they don't seem to define a firm end date, they usually just referred to the present. So I'm not ashamed by not realizing the article was from 2018, because apparently the only way to pick that out is by noticing their stock chart cuts off in 2018 and they have no mention of current events.
"Acting like a startup" gets you investor's money these days. See Nikola, Theranos, AMD, and more. They're not necessarily all bad products, but there's a lot of high-rollers who want to invest into risky companies.
In effect: companies pretending that they're risky satisfies a market... a market to sell shares.
AMD currently doesn't have the capacity to grow its marketshare. Its only got so many TSMC slots. We're in a period where every chipmaker is selling out every single chip they make, but AMD still isn't making as much revenue as NVidia or Intel because they're simply capacity constrained.
AMD will stick around for sure IMO, but they're not nearly as strong as their stock price makes them seem. With that being said, the Xilinx purchase (lolwut?) will put them in a stronger position.
Frankly though, AMD has no business buying a behemoth like Xilinx. But... if their investors give them enough money, then sure, I guess its a good move.
Being capacity constrained is a nice problem to have.
Maybe that has got something to do with Domino's stock price ?
