AMD has changed or says transformed the stagnant PC industry with Ryzen processors, back from 2017. Since then their journey never ended and now in 2020, they have become the gaming champion with the Ryzen 5000 series of processors.
Not only for CPUs but also their discrete graphics card, they are now getting more praise than before and being adopted for business uses. AMD’s server business has skyrocketed from last year with their EPYC processors and Radeon Instinct GPUs.
AMD was the first to bring the concept of APUs and create great gaming SoCs that have today laid the foundation for the next-gen consoles. Also, their revolutionary Ryzen APUs have done quite well in the mobile lineup as well. Together, with so much to offer, AMD has indeed surprised every analyst this year, making record revenues each quarter.
Obviously, this wouldn’t be possible if the company would not be led by Dr. Lisa Su, who took the CEO position when it was sunk with debt in 2014. In recent years AMD has transformed the silicon industry and changed its fortune with a strong roadmap, and its gaining trust from various OEMs for its strong commitment.
For the first nine months of 2020, AMD’s revenue stands at $6,519 million. The results show that the company has nearly met last year’s figure with a full quarter to spare. But it also marked 31% year-over-year growth for the quarter.
AMD has even claimed that it predicts a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% for the next five years. Indeed, Dr. Lisa Su deserves praise for such leadership that has changed the company’s luck forever! Rightfully, she has been awarded Fortune’s Businessperson of the Year 2020, and kudos to her from team TechnoSports.
