Lisa Su is basically a superstar. She is an excellent engineer who also turned out to be great at management.

Jim Keller had a stint there. Just like with AMD K8, he flew in, saved the day with Zen, then moved to greener pastures.

Just that this time, these pastures are at Intel, so who knows what'll happen?

the new CEO, her name eludes me, a Chinese lady, she's very much responsible for AMD's recent success and capitalizing on Intel's mistakes

Lisa Su!

Wikipedia says Lisa Su is Taiwanese-American.

Rumor is that she's somehow related to NVidia's chief. Like 2nd cousins or 3rd niece / something-something removed or something of that nature. Just for some delicious irony.

EDIT: Found it. Jen-Hsun Huang is apparently her Uncle. https://babeltechreviews.com/nvidias-ceo-is-the-uncle-of-amd...

> Technically, Lisa Su’s grandfather is Jen-Hsun Huang’s uncle. They are not exactly niece and uncle, but close relatives.

Jen is 表舅, So it should be Lisa Su's mum ( it has to be on her mum's side and not her dad ) 's Dad or Mother's ( Grand Pa / Grand Ma ) , and their brother or sisters's son.
