Pretty insane that they thought the effort was necessary for an old Zen3 chiplet rather than doing something slightly more ambitious and useful like getting 7500X3D backported to AM4.
Maybe they were sitting on a huge inventory of Zen 3 CCDs?
The only fans AMD has are poor people. Anyone with money relying on AMD is just waiting for the competition to catch up and then they will switch quicker than a baby can sneeze.
Yeah but Jensen will promote the hell out of these and show $$$ to game studios and application vendors. Marketing (lying through their teeth) has always been their forte, unlike AMD.
An AGESA patch to allow booting X3D CPUs without RAM and using the extra cache as RAM would open up interesting possibilities, especially for creating tiny portable "emulator stations".
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say photographic memory or an unnaturally intense focus on the task at hand where their mind is able to drown out all noise and do stuff at light speeds.

I guess many of them just grew up seeing AMD laptops/desktops around them and they also appreciate the jobs AMD created when they had a fab in Dresden. I remember reading that they supported AMD...

It's in its infancy but improving rapidly.
