Just to cap off Intel's annus horribilis, Time picks AMD's Dr Lisa Su as its CEO of the year | Definitely a better choice than last year's pick, that's for sure.


Definitely a better choice than last year's pick, that's for sure.

Time and Su discussed AMD's year in a lengthy interview and somewhat naturally, the main focus was on AI and the explosion in demand for massive super-processors. Well, Time's choices in the past haven't always made a great deal of sense to me (it was OpenAI's Sam Altman last year, for example) but the way I see it, is that while Nvidia utterly rules the roost in AI chips and discrete gaming GPUs, AMD has a far larger portfolio. The launch of the Zen 5 CPUs wasn't great, though the mighty Ryzen 7 9800X3D helped to offset that, and we're still hoping AMD can step up in the discrete GPU market, but overall, this year has been a successful one for the evergreen chip company.
