Companies with engineers at the top have strong technical prowess.
Companies with managers are mediocre technically.
Companies with accountants running things are doomed technically.

Intel was built by Andy Grove, an engineer. Craig Barret was a PhD in Materials Science and an academic - mostly a caretaker. Otellini has an MBA.

I'm keeping my AMD stock.
