It is a pretty safe bet that if someone builds a supercomputer there is a business case for it. Spending big on compute then leaving it idle is terrible economics. I agree with Certhas in that although this is not a consumer-first strategy it might be working. AMDs management are not incapable, for all that they've been outmanoeuvred convincingly by Nvidia.
That being said, there is a certain irony and schadenfreude in the AMD laptop being bricked from the thread root. The AMD engineers are at least aware that running a compute demo is an uncomfortable experience on their products. The consumer situation is not acceptable even if strategically AMD is doing OK.
