And your comments a moment ago to andrew, just sort of crystallize, not just what a job shes done, but how companies are placing their bets on looking through cycles, even though were a week away from an election and in the middle of a pandemic. You have somebody the quality of lease why isa su, best ceo i country, nonpromotional, re competitive thought this was maxed out. Youre in the personal computer and data center, it is not good enough she saw what happened to intel i dont say that with any prejudice. Just that she left intel behind. She is in the data center, who is she who are her clients . Azure, google, and, of course, amazon but it is time she feels it is time to branch out into auto, time to branch out into defense into telco when you look at xilinx, what youre seeing is a mosaic where there is some overlap in data center, but the rest is an attempt to say, you know what, we need a bigger total Addressable Market we have to outgrow our markets right now.
