Do you think AMD out-performing Intel for years might have something to do with it? I know that doesn’t fit whatever axe you have to grind against “women in tech” but it seems more in keeping with the business world’s widely recognized tendency to credit CEOs for the decisions made by large numbers of people who work for them but don’t get up on stage.

Intel mostly just shot itself in the foot; easy to "outperform" a handicapped opponent, and there is no merit in doing so. x86 is also a piece of shit in the grander scheme of things, and will be eaten away by alternative hardware soon. So no, I don't think that has anything to do with it, which is why I was asking a legitimate question. Do people just regurgitate the crap they read online, or do they actually put thought into the beliefs that they form?

Agree with your last statement, though. For-hire CEOs--as opposed to founder-CEOs, who often have an actual vision--take way more credit for their "work" than they deserve.

Also rofl at that "axe to grind". That one took me offline for a few seconds.
