Expecting headlines to be accurate is a fool's errand... Be glad it actually said AMD.
It's bad enough that the article writers often erroneously summarize, but a still different person writes the headline. Back in print days, the headline had to "look nice".. Today, it's probably more about SEO to drive traffic. But both lead to interesting headlines that don't necessarily reflect the content of the article.
