Made good 100% on their stock as they announced new AI product few years back.
I hope their talent will not be wasted and AMD integrates them successfully.

I think this will be a wonderful enhancement for both AMD and Xilinx. Especially AMD.

I see this as a win-win. AMD is too far behind to get invested in AI or FPGAs by themselves, and Xilinx meanwhile can't fight the other giants alone. It's also in AMD's interest to expand their product lineup, so whenever a Bulldozer is pulled, the whole company doesn't collapse as a result.
Does get me to think how interesting it would be should AMD have an integrated FPGA in their CPUs. So maybe most of the package is a FPGA that emulates neural plasticity, and then you have some x86 cores to basically oversee the FPGA's progress, along with hosting the OS or man-made software. Could be a literal AI.

This is exciting stuff, I can't wait to see how AMD innovates with FPGA. Such innovations will be necessary when you have powerful competitors like Apple with its M1 cpu, Nvidia with their acquisition of ARM and oh yeah... Intel with all its money and a new less useless CEO.
