Even though it is not known to general audience, AMD is blood-bonded with the world of motor racing. One of the AMD-based super-computers is used by FIA [Federation Internationale de l'Automobile] to simulate the behavior of F1 cars and that resulted in a sea of changes for the current Formula 1 season. With completely new winners and a revised grid we can conclude that the F1 rules worked and that season is unpredictable. Also, AMD is blood-bonded with Ferrari, which was a credit of a certain Frenchman that led AMD's Sales & Marketing team to its greatest period of success. That person also saved AMD's bacon with investments from Mubadala Abu Dhabi, a company that is probably now AMD's largest shareholder, with a 22% share of AMD itself. Mubadala also owns 5% of Ferrari S.p.A., hence the connection between the two. We also decided to throw in AMD's consumer [desktop/laptop] codenames to the mix.
