What's your argument? That he was let go because his silicon came back and it was disappointing? Wouldn't that be more reason to keep him to correct the issues? If on the other hand, you're arguing he left because the performance was disappointing, then wouldn't it be all the more reason for him to stay to fix the issues since he is the lead on the design and the design is his legacy?
No place for that logic here! Of course you're right - Keller leaving is more likely to mean that Zen has returned fully functional or thereabouts at A0 silicon. Job done, off he goes to someplace else.
If AMD knew Zen was going to be a flop they'd have laid off their whole CPU division instead of letting Keller go. They can't survive another bulldozer.
