Semiconductors, essential for computers, AI, and internet services, underpin economic growth and U.S. global dominance, with AMD leading in CPU and GPU chip design.
AMD chips power critical technologies, from personal computing and data centers to AI programs like ChatGPT, influencing everyday activities like streaming and online shopping.
AMD’s chips enabled the world’s most powerful supercomputer in November, highlighting the company’s technological leadership.
Su spearheaded a bottom-up redesign of AMD’s products, repaired relationships with customers, and rode the AI boom to new heights.
