Can you even compare Mitchell Baker to Lisa Su in terms of achievement?

Su revived a company on the verge of bankruptcy. Since she was appointed CEO, AMD's stock has soared and they've made themselves a viable competitor against Intel. This has been a massive boon to the market.

It's worth noting that Su has a deep understanding of the underlying technology that the company works on (she's an electrical engineer), which was essential to her success at the company.

Su is an example of merit-based compensation. Baker is not.
