CSO John Byrne claims AMD is leading in exclusive KitGuru interview

During our research for this interview, we'd heard a lot about the 3-stage plan.

We asked Byrne how exactly it was supposed to work.

“Stage one was about restructuring”, explained Byrne. “Right-sizing the company to make sure we were running as efficiently as possible and focused on core parts of the business”.

“For stage two, we then accelerated the business, including realigning sales and marketing, with a strong focus on a return to profitability & successfully ramping a set of new products”, he said.

“Finally, there’s stage 3, which is where we are now”, said Byrne. “We are making steady progress on transforming our business and leveraging both our IP and engineering expertise to diversify our product portfolio and offer solutions that work for both traditional markets as well as the new, high growth areas”.

“This transformation includes a real push towards HSA – Heterogenous Systems Architecture – accelerating toward a compute future with a big demand on graphics performance and parallel computing as well as ambidextrous computing”, he told us.
