2019-12-12 05:41:31 +0000 UTCI would disagree. Bob oversees general ops, Murthy/JK/RK, etc. run the actual technical side of the stuff.
2019-12-11 06:54:19 +0000 UTCThanks again Tom for using my question, great podcast I definitely hope you have him on again. I think Neal is right, Lisa Su is a beast. People forget her work on engendering the cell processor for Sony and IBM. One of my professors actually worked with her (not directly much) back in her days at IMB’s Poughkeepsie location. He said that even back then, when she was ambitious. I definitely think people need to give her more credit for turning around AMD... now only if she would focus a little more on RTG but I understand the fiscal reasons why they are not higher on the priority list.

2019-12-10 15:45:51 +0000 UTCI think the comment about Intels CEO not being a technical guy is overlooked. When you juxtapose Lisa Su and her in depth engineering backround it's no surprise how AMD is firing on all cylinders. She's the right person for her company. Bob Swan isnt.
