I am almost embarrassed to admit this, but before I met Mike and before yesterday I had never ever heard of AMD.
I went to their showcase event yesterday and thought, “what the freak? What rock have I been living under?” These dudes are everywhere – except they’re in the INSIDE. That’s why I never knew who they were.
I was in a room surrounded by gaming machines, cute laptops, sexier ones connected to TVs and a freaking Wii. AMD – I apologize for being so naive. Ya’ll are cool in my book. Now when I see a little “AMD” sticker on anything, I know I’ll be getting a bang for my buck.
AMD votes in Dirk Meyer as CEO and President, Hector Ruiz remains as Executive Chairman of the Board.
My contacts at AMD have mixed feelings,some saying off the record that it is about time and others are legitimately sad about the news. I myself met Hector Ruiz last year and it’s kind of sucks to see him go as the face of AMD.
