Absolutely. We telegraphed it here it s were going to begin with amd and that 35 billion planned acquisition of xilinx. Its the boldest bet in a remarkable run by amds chief executive officer dr. Lisa su taking over almost exactly six years ago in october 2014. Sue has taken shares of amd from 3 to, what, 79 as of this morning. More than 2,000 rise. Todays deal is another challenge to intel its a push for market share in data centers and just the latest move by sue to turn amd from an also ran into a leader. Hopefully you have got to know me a little bit im all about focus and execution. You know, what we set out the plans for amd over the
And your comments a moment ago to andrew, just sort of crystallize, not just what a job shes done, but how companies are placing their bets on looking through cycles, even though were a week away from an election and in the middle of a pandemic. You have somebody the quality of lease why isa su, best ceo i country, nonpromotional, re competitive thought this was maxed out. Youre in the personal computer and data center, it is not good enough she saw what happened to intel i dont say that with any prejudice. Just that she left intel behind.
