If true and he doesn't return to the same position is it a surprise? I don't think so, He may be a good architecture designer but he's no good as a boss, He's completely destroyed my faith & trust in AMD's Graphics team over the way everything Vega has been handled, Nothing but smoke & mirror's, Vega isn't necessarily a bad product, far from perfect yes but handled right it could have been well received even as it is. But the man at the reigns was in over his head. I'm annoyed that after a year of waiting I ended up with a GTX 1080 I don't really want. All the big Vega info events over the last year have been a joke, There's numerous examples but here's a couple, He did an event where he promised news about Vega at the end, That keep us waiting & watching a boring presentation about a Bollywood movie and Vega's supposed importance in creating a virtual backdrop which is not exactly something new. So we sat through that and when we finally reach the end we get a 4 second titbit where he tells us Vega will be named Vega and leaves the stage. It seems to me that he's used his position at AMD to promote stuff in his home country rather than focusing on Vega and it's position on the World stage. On the final day's leading to the release he had Linus doing a Vega presentation where they seemed to have hijacked a middleschool bus full of pre-teens to watch the unboxing of a non product, ie: Show the card for ten seconds and then pull out the cube and make that the focus of this Vega event. Raj Koduri's handling of the situation has been dire. RTG is a mess at the moment so if it's true and Mr Koduri doesn't come back good riddance.
