Even so, those 12,000 employees laid off aren't going to be able to improve their capability in terms of delivering cloud products.
The only way this makes sense to me is if they're preempting Zen. The pie is undeniably shrinking and that shrinking will accelerate with the launch of Zen which means they don't need to produce as many chips in the next few years. 12,000 is still a lot of jobs and you'd think they'd be hiring people to research new substrates/technology.
