I think it was FUBAR before Pat came back. That was always going to be a tough ship to right. I'm not sure how much you can credit him with stumbles and successes since, but at least Arc is looking decent with the most recent release. I also think the 285k and ilk aren't such bad chips as a first foray into external fabrication. They're strong all-around performers despite some minor regressions, and they're working in a smaller power budget.

To be fair that really remains to be seen. It took them how many years to ship a single decent card? Sure it's very competitive with last gen Nvidia and AMD GPUs but it's not clear if that's the case only because Intel is willing to sell them with very low margins or even at a loss.
