[PC Watch 25th Anniversary Special Project] What is the success equation derived by AMD, which is a great leap?
In fact, it was established almost at the same time as Intel.AMD with a history of over 50 years
Q: If you are particularly interested in your own PC, there are few people who do not know, but please tell us about the establishment of AMD.
A: AMD was founded in Sunny Veil, USA in 1969.Intel was established the previous year, so it is a year different.AMD has been working on compatible processors since early, and became a manufacturer for PCs, CPUs for servers, supercomputers, and GPUs.
In addition, the establishment of Japan AMD is in 1975, so it will be celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Q: What is the simple representation of the features of AMD products?
A: AMD CPU is a so -called X86 compatible processor, but has opened its own route in the X86.Looking back on the epoch -making event, I released "Athlon 1GHz" in 2000.At that time, the CPU clock was still in the MHz era, but it is AMD that the first CPU with a clock exceeding 1 GHz was launched.

Q: How about the current atmosphere of AMD?
A: As a company called AMD, the employee is expanding, but the lightness of footwork has not changed.This is probably due to the leadership of CEO Lisa Sue.
Lisa is from an engineer and is familiar with the end of the company, and the transmission from the top to the end is progressing quickly.At present with a short product cycle, isn't this speed of steering steering important?
