What I wonder is if the Advocate program has become kind of a Frankenstein program that AMD washes their hands of now.
Guys like Raja only have contempt for non tech people hissing lies on the tech forums. My guess is someone in PR at AMD sold them on the Advocate program once upon a time (who knows? might have even used some of my inflammatory posts as the justification) and that some doofus middle management long since gone greenlighted the expansion. Now it lurches on like a lumbering dinosaur, to dumb to know it's far outlived it's use.
Or it could be they know they don't have product to sell so they have to sell lies.
Hard to say.
