AMD is now following More's Law: More chips, more money, more pressure on Intel, more competition in the x86 space

Re: Again seems history repeating itself

If AMD has always been playing catch-up, why did Intel licence x86-64 from AMD?

Whilst I would admit Bulldozer was a misstep, I've yet to see any evidence of incompatibility with software and AMD Ryzen/Threadripper/Epyc chips (for the record I'm running a Ryzen on my desktop and haven't come across anything that hasn't worked yet).

Though I'd always be interested to see if you have any sources for remark.
