Gamers are some of the toughest people to please. They have extreme requirements. They want everything.
I spent 15 years at IBM, then five years at Freescale Semiconductor.
I like the PC market. It's a big market, but it's a very volatile market as well.
The notion of what we're trying to do at AMD is about bringing out great technology, great products.
As we looked at the server market, we know very well that the data-center market takes time to ramp with any new product.
That's the fun part of being CEO. You can actually say, 'Hey, this is what we should be spending our time on,' and people get it.
As one of the most important global events for our industry, I look forward to Computex each year.
AMD loves gamers.
Don't worry about the financials. Just focus on delivering great products.

What India is doing in promoting technology and broadband access and PCs for the population is an important market for us.
One of the most important things for a CEO is not to get insulated.
One of the key things is, when you look at semiconductor companies, it's all about experience.
Market share is key.

It's a day-one expectation that when you buy a processor, it's not going to leak your data.
It is incredibly fun to run a company like AMD.
If I sound like a technology geek, that's probably because I am. But I also love running good businesses.
I've spent my entire career in semiconductors.
I'm a big believer in using the best IP for a given application.
I think it's fair to say that the age of traditional computing is dead.
I think AMD is at our best when we're working with a customer and allowing them to do something they couldn't do before.
