Feels a bit like Apple's resurrection from the dead when Jobs came back to take the helm after having been 'fired'... now AMD is eating Intel's pie left right and center.
- xattt 8y agoAre there specific people that are back at AMD that had not been there during the last decade?
- pgeorgi 8y agoJim Keller had a stint there. Just like with AMD K8, he flew in, saved the day with Zen, then moved to greener pastures. Just that this time, these pastures are at Intel, so who knows what'll happen?
- martin1975 8y agothe new CEO, her name eludes me, a Chinese lady, she's very much responsible for AMD's recent success and capitalizing on Intel's mistakes
- ericpauley 8y agoLisa Su!
- dragontamer 8y agoWikipedia says Lisa Su is Taiwanese-American. Rumor is that she's somehow related to NVidia's chief. Like 2nd cousins or 3rd niece / something-something removed or something of that nature. Just for some delicious irony. EDIT: Found it. Jen-Hsun Huang is apparently her Uncle. https://babeltechreviews.com/nvidias-ceo-is-the-uncle-of-amds-ceo/ https://babeltechreviews.com/nvidias-ceo-is-the-uncle-of-amd... > Technically, Lisa Su’s grandfather is Jen-Hsun Huang’s uncle. They are not exactly niece and uncle, but close relatives.
- ksec 8y agoJen is 表舅, So it should be Lisa Su's mum ( it has to be on her mum's side and not her dad ) 's Dad or Mother's ( Grand Pa / Grand Ma ) , and their brother or sisters's son.
- Tuna-Fish 8y agoLisa Su is basically a superstar. She is an excellent engineer who also turned out to be great at management.
