AMD CEO Lisa Su certainly has done a lot to turn the tide for AMD, and she's not done yet. After RTG leader Raja Koduri left for Intel, measures have been taken in order to fill that gap.



Earlier today we've already seen the announcement of Mike Rayfield as senior vice president and general manager of AMD Radeon Technologies Group (RTG), and David Wang as senior vice president of engineering for RTG. However, AMD CEO Lisa Su talked about the future of AMD and how AMD is not everywhere, so to speak the following is that she had to say about gaming being a focus of the company:

We’re very committed to gaming so that’s not going to change, but you will see us do some more purpose-built products for the compute side of things.

In a recent interview, Su also mentioned the company invested more in R&D in 2017 as compared to 2016 and will be investing, even more, this year compared to last year. Her goal is to achieve 20% growth year over year.



She was asked about the 25x by 2020 goal and whether or not she that thought that this depended on OEMs. Lisa Su was asked whether or not she was worried about this:

I believe that not every partner will go extreme on 25×20, but we will get a couple of partners to really take advantage of those capabilities. In some sense it is on us to show them what we are capable. The Raven Ridge/Ryzen Mobile design was sort of like the first step, but we are nowhere near done with everything that can be done, so you are going to see that power profile get better and better as new systems come out. So yes, I am very optimistic about the whole, like I said, I am simply amazed with some of the things that you can do, or we can do with in partnership with the OEMs.
