Default [bsn] AMD’s new look
Quote:
AMD’s new look

Yesterday, we attended the AMD Financial Analyst Day in Sunnyvale, California. AMD presented a new look - new executives, new approach, new logo, new technology.

Many of the executives who appeared on stage have a relatively short tenure with AMD. However, they bring extensive technology experience to the job, not to mention scholastic achievement. We wonder if this new team can mesh into, or create, a common, successful corporate culture.

Dirk Meyer, CEO, might be called a lifer, having been at AMD since 1995, in contrast to Thomas Seifert, CFO, who just joined the company in 2009. One product launch manager called Meyer "the bridge" between the old guard and the latest staff additions. He facilitates the mingling of AMD’s technical history with forward looking ideas. Meyer’s leadership qualities and pleasant personality were evident during the day, showing that Dirk is maturing from a black/white engineering personality, as described by his former colleague.

Meyer’s dual degrees in computer engineering and business administration led him to become a top microprocessor design innovator, and successful manager. At DEC [Digital Equipment Corporation], he was co-architect of the Alpha 21064 and 21264 microprocessors, before moving to AMD where Meyer was lead engineer of the AMD Athlon microprocessor. An interesting tidbit in yesterdays' new cross-license deal between Intel and AMD is that AMD now has access to the very same Alpha 21064 and 21264 architectures that Intel acquired from the HP-Compaq garage sale - pitching Itanium and shutting Alpha, its more efficient and powerful competitor.

Nigel Dessau has 19 years of IBM under his belt, and worked on their corporate marketing team. Most recently, he was with Sun Microsystems, but joined AMD as senior vice president and chief marketing officer in Spring 2008. He oversees the company’s global marketing, brand and communications strategies...

Actually you got it a bit wrong mate, reasoning here:

http://www.overclock.net/7645683-post36.html

The article from BSN you are talking about is accurate it would seem. They could not have made up those slides anyway if you read the article... it was clearly a presentation being handled from the CFO of AMD.

Maybe AMD should remove the ATI brand, and change the green arrow in their logo to red.
