Quotes from Lisa Su

When I see some of the work in the commercial PC sector, some of our top focus is in India.

Electrical engineering, particularly at MIT, was the hardest major, so I said, 'You know, how about we try that and see how it goes.'

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 like the PC market. It's a big market, but it's a very volatile market as well.

I spent 15 years at IBM, then five years at Freescale Semiconductor.

AMD's history is we've always had great technology. We've had periods of time where we've done really, really well, and we've had periods of time where we've done not so well. But most of the time we've done well, it's because we've had a leadership product or some technology where we were out in front before anybody else.

People are really capable if you're able to give them the confidence to get something done and paint the picture of where we need to go.

I just really love building chips.

Clarity of communication is important.

I think it's fair to say that the age of traditional computing is dead.

Traditional computing is always going to be a part of AMD's business, but our technology can go further.

The way we want to look at it is we would like to do end-to-end design in India. We've invested for many years, and so at some point, to do end-to-end product in India is very much a possibility.

I just had a great curiosity about how things worked.

I think AMD is at our best when we're working with a customer and allowing them to do something they couldn't do before.

What we're really trying to do is have heterogeneous systems really become the foundation of our computing going forward. And that's the idea that you make every processor and every accelerator a peer processor.

Like many Asian parents, mine were very focused on education. My dad would quiz me with multiplication tables when I was about 5.

We really want to be the leading designer and integrator of tailored solutions.

It's a day-one expectation that when you buy a processor, it's not going to leak your data.

Gaming is one of those things that's pretty amazing because when you think about it, everybody wants to game; whether you're a casual gamer, or you're an enthusiast gamer, there's a large market for us.

With technological advances, there's a very natural curve between cost and complexity and adoption. When the cost and complexity are high, the adoption rate is - let's call it 'modest.'

I love high-performance technologies, the stuff that's the brains of today's products, and AMD was one of the few companies that had this type of technology. I always believed that it was a company that had great technical capability but needed better business focus.

Everyone in the semiconductor industry, everyone in the technology industry, would benefit from more diversity in the business.

As we looked at the server market, we know very well that the data-center market takes time to ramp with any new product.

We're absolutely passionate about making sure gamers have the latest and greatest drivers.
