CEO: Dr. Lisa Su
CEO Dr. Lisa Su said AMD’s biggest customer challenge in 2023 is based around the “macro-economic uncertainties” as “many customers” are doing scenario planning this year.
Su said AMD’s goal in 2023 is to help customers use technology to deliver new capabilities and services to enable “more efficient operations through optimized CapEx and OpEx” budgets.
“In an uncertain macro backdrop, we believe that investments in the right technology, whether in the data center or in client environments, can be a significant business differentiator,” she said.
In terms of key technology investments to meet these challenges head-on, Su said AMD will be making significant investments in artificial intelligence (AI) in 2023.
“We are at an inflection point for AI and we are now seeing adoption across a broad set of applications and workloads, with AI often working behind the scenes to make computing even more powerful and data even more actionable,” Su said. “We’re continuing to build AI capabilities across our product roadmaps, starting with integrating the industry’s highest performance dedicated AI processor in our latest generation Ryzen 7040 series.”
