Agreed! This is great news for AMD and users.

Those who want to run Linux seriously will buy AMD. Intel will be slowly phased out, and this will reduce maintenance and increase the quality of anything that previously had to support both Intel and AMD.

However, if Microsoft or Apple scoop up AMD, all hell will break loose. I don’t think either would have interest in Linux support.

Less competition is NOT good news for AMD users. Their CPUs are already at lot less competitively priced now that they beat Intel for market share.
