Re: I doubt Barcelona has anything to do with either of the two gents leaving.

Seems hard to pass off the timing as a coincidence.

Re: Maybe Henry and Rickster didnt play well together.

If that were the case, you would expect one to go and the other to stay.

Re: Sending one out the door and not the other would cause discontent among the ranks.

It's up to the CEO to settle these kinds of quarrels. AMD has bigger problems that spats among executives, and I would think that grown men can get past these things with their company is on the brink of another few quarters of major losses.

Of course, I can't claim it's one way or the other. I am just reading between the lines. Barcelona benchmarks come out next week. I think it will be clear then whether Richard and Rickster left because of personal differences, or whether they feared the impending doom of an underwhelming launch of AMD's most important product in several years.
