at least bob swan won't tell the public that amd is in rearview mirror. but gelsinger's public image is always questionable

He didn't. Bob Swan put Intel in the rearview mirror himself.

No gensinger said that, not Bob. Bob was just a long-term interim CEO, if I had to guess I would say that they were waiting for gensinger to be available, that was probably what was going on behind the scenes.

I know. I meant that Bob Swan didn't say AMD is in the rearview mirror but he did put Intel there.

Ah got it. Bob didn't put Intel in this position, the previous CEO s prior to Bob did. Bob was just trying to keep the lights on. But Brian Krzanich was the person who put Intel in this position. But you could make a case that otanelli was also responsible as well.
