To me the most impressive part is what incredible job they did in the years of intel dominance. They almost bulldozered themselves.
But it failed hard which coincided with Intel releasing a major winner with their last planar architecture - sandy bridge.
As a result, AMD spent years circling the drain and their stock dipped below 2 dollars. Some people made good money buying around that time.
