AMD Tech Day 2008: Conclusion

This very informative opening of the kimono by AMD shows the strength of their pipeline, and the confidence they feel in whatever innovations and products they are working on.

All that is left is for them to execute! Hopefully, without any hobbling by their rival, Intel.

A list of posts from the other participants can be found at AbsoluteVista.com.

My visit to Austin was very important on several levels, a) I got to talk privately to several key executives at AMD outside the key event, and b) I am most grateful for the knowledge and connections made.

While I cannot list their names here, I hope they are aware of my thanks to them for taking the time to meet with me.

I would like to thank all the AMD executives and staffers who made our day there such a success. I would also like to thank Nigel Dessau, Chris Cloran, Scott Shutter, Jake Whitman, John Taylor, Charlie Boswell, Ogi Brkic, Pat Moorhead, Hal Speed, David Rooney, Matt Mazzantini, Mark Welker, and Rick Gayle.

I would also like to thank all the night crawlers with whom we hung out with—no names, no names.

It goes without saying that my obtaining this information and participating would not have been possible without BuzzCorps. My thanks go out to Chris, Geoff, Nick, and Terri.
