fact of the matter is amd is bringing in industry veterans to train their future executives.
 
AMD stands for Another Manager Daily! I swear this company has more managers and presidents than any other company it's size.
 
I wonder what premiums these executives ask for over more stable companies. Because the ARM server strategy isn't taking off and it's only a matter of time before AMD becomes completely irrelevant in PC processors.

From the top to the bottom of the x86 market AMD is basically non-existent these days. I can't recall them being in a weaker position across the board, with not even price being a tool to them these days.
 
To get a job that high in the food chain you gotta have that many years under your belt or at least a good amount ;)
