What we're really trying to do is have heterogeneous systems really become the foundation of our computing going forward. And that's the idea that you make every processor and every accelerator a peer processor.
My dad was a mathematician and worked for New York City as a statistician. My mom was an accountant and eventually started her own business in her mid-40s. She linked manufacturers in Taiwan to companies in the United States that needed those types of products.
I do think the blockchain infrastructure is here to stay.
What India is doing in promoting technology and broadband access and PCs for the population is an important market for us.
We see incredible opportunity to solve some of the biggest social challenges we have by combining high-performance computing and AI - such as climate change and more.
Traditional computing is always going to be a part of AMD's business, but our technology can go further.
I think it's fair to say that the age of traditional computing is dead.
Electrical engineering, particularly at MIT, was the hardest major, so I said, 'You know, how about we try that and see how it goes.'
Gaming is one of those things that's pretty amazing because when you think about it, everybody wants to game; whether you're a casual gamer, or you're an enthusiast gamer, there's a large market for us.
I've spent my entire career in semiconductors.
We're absolutely passionate about making sure gamers have the latest and greatest drivers.
Great graphics requires more than just high-performance hardware. Gamers know software is just as important.
Gamers love technology, and they have high expectations.
AMD loves gamers.
Gamers are some of the toughest people to please. They have extreme requirements. They want everything.
Gaming brings people together.
My dad was going to graduate school at Columbia, in New York, so we moved there. After he graduated, we ended up settling in New York, so I grew up there.
When I step back and look at what's important to AMD, it's about graphics leadership - visual computing leadership - as well as a strong computing experience. We have the capability to integrate those two together.
My philosophy is, I can't make every product that can possibly use a high-performance CPU and graphics. Why shouldn't I enable others, in a positive fashion, to leverage AMD IP in more places?
The world is starving for new ideas and great leaders who will champion those ideas.
