1mil comp? Haha, what?

Salaries at semico companies are not even close to this

Also why would you even need ppl this good? People who earn 1 mil offer way, way more than just tech skills

NVidia is a semico and they pay much better than AMD: https://www.indeed.com/companies/compare/Amd-vs-Nvidia-b78a5... . That's a big part of why they're so far ahead now and their drivers are much better. If AMD wants to catch up to NVidia within a reasonable timeframe, they wouldn't just need to match it, they'd need to pay way better than NVidia to attract the best people.

Agreed - Nvidia has made software a core pillar since the nineties.
