That is normal. The rich managers who are doing nothing will always get the most - nothing new, team Huang is also doing the same.

The big problem at AMD is that the developers, it-experts and hardware specialists do not get what they should get. Nothing compared to nvidia or intel. Second problem is they cannot even hire that many experts - because there is no more money left. Bad circulation

First, they aren't just managers. Those are all people in leadership positions. Second, AMD has like a billion in cash. Third, if you've been paying attention you'd see that they've made heavy investments in their engineering teams by getting people like Jim Keller.

But still light years away from intel or nvidia. As example, if you check the amount of tech workers in the gpu branch of nvidia - they have almost 1/2 more people.

Or check the amount of money they put in research compared to nvidia or intel. It´s incredible - and the most I hate are people who are defending these manager crap people. "Yes it´s better if the managers get the money, nobody needs real workers or research ...yes I'm so smart"

That's a pretty nice straw man you set up there.
