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?

I just had a great curiosity about how things worked.

What's important for all of us as chip companies is to keep the innovation going: putting out new products, figuring out how we connect these complex systems.

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.

I look back on my career and my time as commissioner with great fondness.

I have never, for better or worse, thought about a 'career path' or anything like that.

The Internet shapes my life and work so completely that I couldn't imagine living without it.

Technology loves and thrives and makes gobs of money on conspicuous consumption.
