True, in simple words, AMD is moving towards versatile solutions that is going to satisfy corporate clients and ordinary clients while producing same thing, their apu and xdna architecture is example, apu is used in playstation and Xbox, xdna and epyc used in datacenters, and AMD is uniting btb and btc merchandise for manufacture simplification

I wonder, what is easier: Convincing data centre operators to not worry about the power draw and airflow impact of those LEDs on the fans, or convincing gamers that LEDs don't make things faster?

Maybe a bold strategy is in order: Buy cooling assemblies exclusively from Noctua, and exclusively in beige/brown.

AMD making cases and fans? First time I've heard, even box versions with fans could be made apple way, they can start shipping only SOCs they selling

There's no non-reference designs of Radeon PROs, I think. Instincts, even less. If the ranges bleed into each other they might actually sell reference designs down into the gamer mid-range but I admit that I'm hand-waving. But if, as a very enthusiastic enthusiast, you're buying something above the intended high-end gaming point and well into the pro region it's probably going to be a reference design.

And as a side note finally they're selling CPUs boxed but without fan.

True you've got a point, but i don't think there's gonna be many reference designs simply because AMD is cutting expenses as much as possible by selling fabs in the past, simplifying merchandise lineup now, and i guess they'll outsource as much as possible to non-reference manufacturers as a part of existence cutting measures, they also include outsourcing manufacture to tsmc in the past and opensourcing most of their software stack so community would step in to maintain
