You would think that by now AMD realizes that poor software is what left them behind in the dust, and would have changed that mindset.


Most businesses understand the pain points of their suppliers very well, as they feel that pain and gave themselves organized around it.

They have a hard time to understand the pain points of their consumers, as they don't feel that pain, look trough their own organisation-coloured glases, and can't see the real pain points from the whiney-customer ones.

AMD probably thinks software ecosystems are the easy part, ready to take it on whenever they feel like it and throw a token amount at it. They've built a great engine, see the carossery as beneath them, and don't understand why the lazy customer wants them to build the rest of the car too.
