I don't think having a common ancestry for the ISA means much, or even having the same ISA.

Anyway, I don't understand what you want from me or are arguing about. They were trying to win the datacenter CPU market and not the GPU market. They did well at that. They've recently started trying to win the GPU market as well, cause now they can afford to. They seem to be doing well now.

I'm saying that the "not trying to win the datacenter GPU market" bit is not quite correct, as they had a lot of products trying to address that market. Agree that their offerings today are a marked improvement over the previous ones though.
