AMD Appoints Dr. Lisa Su as President and Chief Executive Officer

[jigar2speed]

So you jumping on any thread here, at Tech Report, at Anandtech, at anywhere else trying to sweep away any talk about AMD driver issues for example is just a coincidence?

Yep. Posts based on facts rather than whining - pretty much like this thread until you started thread-crapping. If you have an issue with any point I've made in this thread - whether it the facts I've listed, the history I've recounted, or the fact that I somehow shouldn't sympathise with a AMD CEO being scapegoated for the failings of a BoD, then by all means make a constructive post presenting a counter argument or instances where my facts are in error.....it would be more constructive than just popping up and squealing and making false accusations about people being paid by a company.

So far you've adding nothing to the thread topic, and the sum total of your contribution is to hand out personal insults. I'm guessing you won't be changing anytime soon. The fact that you feel the need to post insults in a public forum rather than via PM must stem from some deep seated need to impress someone. Hope that works out for you - I'll have to find out second-hand since I just added you to my ignore list.

LOL, so all you could come up with was i was getting sick of fanboys spinning and derailing the thread.

Oh and btw so far i might have added a little to this thread but I was still able to share valuable inform to everyone to take your comments with a pinch of salt, cause all you have been doing is spreading crap about AMD across all forums and cashing undeserved cheques from Nvidia.

Don't trust me, just search on google for this dude's comment.


EDIT: I just saw your recent edits - Dude why do i give a f**K if Roy should get fired or not. The hot debate here is that - you just put me on the ignore list because you can't prove anyone that you are not a paid shill. I am surprised that you have been rolling here since 3 years and no one noticed it.

Just ignore him like I and many others have done, the Chef in New Zealand thinks he's a god of the computer world and trolls multiple forums consistently. It is much better to ignore him than give him anything to rant about because it ruins 90% of the discussions on this forum and keeps things much cleaner. He thinks he is being clever and in reality it is better to ignore and just move on. He's is just an obsessed fanboy...

Trust me, just move on dude like I and a huge amount of others have done as it keeps things cleaner and better for everyone who really care about the threads instead of trying to look like some sort of profound genius of computers. I am sure he will even respond to me but like I said I keep him ignored and just do not read any comments posted by him because I don't care and you should not as well.

Soo.. With all the "hub-bub" happening over at HP, is he going back there?

All I have heard so far is that he will be advising them until the transition is over. I am very curious though what he is going to do next if he will eventually leave completely or move on somewhere else though it does not sound like he is completely leaving at least yet...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

out of nowhere comes this brilliant comment. Time wil ltell, but I would rather see him move over to the auto industry, honestly. His skill would be very useful there.

You never know, maybe the question will be asked at AMD's Q3 2014 conference call next week.

 

[remixedcat]

I'd like to be in one of those conference calls and ask him "did you ___ her right in the____??"

You don't play QB for Florida State by any chance?

 

[remixedcat]

nahhhh!!! and the 2nd ____ was p___y.

you know the meme right? that guy that "bombed" the news videos...

Yep, I've seen the FHRITP - that's why I thought you might be FSU's Jameis Winton! FSU are 23.5 point favourites with the Vegas sports book against Syracuse tomorrow - I was going to take FSU and the points - better chance of a profit than playing the stock market!

Great, more stubborn chinese people with no vision driving another american company into the ground with their lack of flexibility and marketing skills.

Stereotype much?
While I wouldn't say her previous employers at IBM Microelectronics and Freescale Semi were riding high while she was there, and are progressively worse now (unless the sale of the former to GloFo is considered a positive outcome) I don't think she can be held solely accountable as R&D VP/ CTO respectively. As to whether she was worth the $3.5 million in compensation paid by AMD for her services as COO (and whatever salary package she receives as CEO) I guess will be somewhat answered in next week quarterly earnings announcement and subsequent conference call.

Interesting. I hope this heralds a new age where we can finally see some decent competition in the consumer CPU arena from AMD.

The thing is, is that AMD is confined by the silicon process they have access to, which is provided by a different company. AMD needs an low-power/high-performance mobile chip (ie. <12W), and desktop CPUs need faster cache. The only real things preventing this is the silicon they use, so anything else is marketing mumbo-jumbo.

I see. The mobile arena is by no means my area of expertise, so thanks for the information!

Yap will be ignoring him from now...

 

[remixedcat]

proof that he works at nvidia?

 

[remixedcat]

jeez they need to cool their freakin pants yo

 

[jigar2speed]

LOL I though that you jigar ignored him

Yap i did but i had to un ignore once i saw your reply.

Also its surprising that you are finding this funny but forgot that it begin with humansmoke put me on ignore list yet he went through a lot of trouble digging my past (I agree i was a dick 8 years back) but portraying a very different picture of me now.

 

[Tatty_Two]

This tit for tat off topic crap is starting to become tiresome so thread cleaned up...... I am not a great believer in bringing other forums trash in here either so whilst I know it has been used as evidence might I suggest you all let it go now?

Exactly the same thing I have been saying for a couple years now, and why its pointless to upgrade until they do, the improvements they see will be a few percent until they can make a large process jump.


Also their ideas of how to make do have been poor, they should have a two pronged approach, refine the existing CPU/GPU, and the main team to create new. When one fails move on with the winner. 6 months time to an actual die.

It may be more an issue of definitive goal setting. AMD's roadmaps have been a bit all over the place - projects started, stopped, restarted or cancelled / revised. Without knowing the resources and R&D sunk into the Swift APU (which got somewhat repurposed as Llano), and the aborted Komodo/Sepang /Terramar (G2012 /C2012 sockets) series for instance, it's impossible to quantify. Design teams don't seem to be the issue in the main (AMD is known to have a number of design teams on the CPU/APU side), and according to AMD's own CTO, the company has "over 500 designers on it's CPU team alone". The issue might be more one of indecision, and just as likely, the competitive landscape moving too fast for the company - which would tend to suggest that AMD's medium/long strategic planning falls short of Intel's. It's a tough enough task to keep pace with Intel's prodigious R&D resources, without being handicapped by a less than accurate crystal ball.

I wholeheartedly disagree.


We have one purpose. As high of performance within a reasonable TDP as possible.


That is of course a huge oversimplification, but to say they don't understand that isn't true, what they have done is to allow the design teams to run in multiple directions and end up getting to the end of their leash still running full tilt. Whoever keeps dreaming up the shitty ideas for "modules" when we still have so many single threaded applications needs to be beaten. AMD had a great idea, dual core, then quad core, then its like they made that a god, always make more cores, never waiver on the making of more cores, instead of better and more logic throw in two or four more cores.

When performance failed to materialize lets throw hotdogs down this hallway in the form of PR spins and pure Ghz to fill up the gaps.
AMD FX 85Ghz, now with higher TDP!! (Not for use below the arctic circle, may cause permafrost melt, may kill polar bears, may cause heat stroke)

When they pull their head out of the network of collective asses where one farts and they all end up smelling it by networked head in ass design, make a single, dual, or quad core high performance chip, then realize they can superglue GPU modules on the side, or cores together, they will win, but not by much or for long, history tells us they will give 25% of the die space to some obscure tech they will not develop, and claim the "community" or "standards" will make it useable.

Right now the biggest issue is the success they have had with Xbone, and PS4, it only propagates the thinking that what they have made is "good enough". Imagine that same system with a 4 core HT intel with more CPU performance and cutting the CPU power budget by 10-20W, that is 10-20W more they could put into a GPU, and both consoles could do 1080P content.

I agree, recently the idea of cramming cores became too much of an idea and a gamble as the programmers decided 4 was enough and hard enough to justify as is. Though the APU lineup has good ideas in place they are overtaken with a low end CPU that while performs great for things like Media Centers, light gaming, or otherwise basic needs they fail to really push anything forward other than the GPU that keeps being better. They are great for mobile right now, but if more focus were to be put into making the CPU stronger (Which I doubt will happen until the bulldozer series is finally done) we will not see much more than the basics being fulfilled. Its made their recent series seem ok up to a point but they really are not pushing hard enough into the area that needs the most attention right now which is the CPU itself.
