Legendary CPU architect Jim Keller leaves AMD

Zen isn't going to revolutionise anything (they are bringing the architecture in line with Intel) and will undoubtedly be slower than the Intel equivalents.

Someone's always got too be slower and as long as it's only a little slower while offering more cores I think it'll do fine.
 
And some people just like the challenge and/or breaking new ground and would rather work for the under dog or new start ups.

They probably spend a lot of time discussing new ideas with colleagues & peers then get the urge to implement them in a suitable product. Like that paper you mentioned, he probably couldn't let it lie.
