I think it's fantastic for AMD. Google will have to buy so much AMD hardware, and whether they are successful or not AMD will still be flush with new cash that will allow them to become a bigger player in the chip space. Stock is going up. And if for some reason Stadia really takes off it would only go up even more, I'm talking $100+.

The big advantage AMD has that no one really talks about is their ability to do client virtualization at the hardware level, not software.

For anyone wanting more detail on the GPU-hardware virtualization support you can search for SR-IOV and also read the AMD whitepaper [0].
