That’s fucking stupid.
GPUs and tensor cores still need high performance traditional cores to keep them fed and happy. This is like getting out of the engine business to focus on turbo chargers and exhausts.

Their original business model revolved around "turbo chargers and exhausts." Their GPUs and network devices were all RISC powered and will likely continue to be RISC powered. They just aren't selling full application cores anymore because there wasn't a market for it for them. Too many other providers already.
