Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

Re: ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES (AMD) Fellow Wayne Meretsky has left the company, an AMD spokesman confirmed Friday. Meretsky was a driving force behind AMD's efforts to promote its forthcoming Opteron server chip.


While I don't have any inside info, it just seems that nobody get's fired anymore, they just leave for "personal reasons".

Even if I'm wrong, AMD has got to be in a desperate situation trying to keep talent. How long can they keep driving their people at a feverish pace, only to suffer disappointment after disappointment. It's got to be terribly frustrating to those who realized long ago that Jerry's eyes were bigger than his stomach, so to speak. WIth Hammer floundering continuously and their Fab in total disaray, there's nobody to roll off onto followon products. They have burned the candle on both ends for too long and they are running out of candle.
