I would love to be a fly on the wall on the corresponding AMD strategy meetings :)
I think to not focus on x86 right now would be a tremendous blunder on AMD’s part. And at the same time ignoring ARM for too long will give others (like Nvidia) time to setup shop and capture the market.
I wonder how much of the Zen architectural “backend” is amenable to be reused with a different ISA (I don’t even know if such thing would be possible). Perhaps they could have a very low-effort initiative to try something along those lines.
