AMD was lucky, but it is also being run by a highly accomplished semiconductor physicist, so some things are perhaps a little less luck than one might think.
I would vote for Lisa to be the CEO of the year. It's also fun to know she is a relative of NVidia boss that once worked at AMD and they both are from Taiwan, home of TSMC and who knows if they have family inside as well...
No she's not his relative.
"It is worth mentioning that another Taiwanese semiconductor elite, Nvidia founder Huang Renxun (Jensen Huang) also came from Tainan, and has a relative relationship with Su Zifeng (Lisa Su). Su Zifeng’s grandfather and Huang Renxun’s mother are brothers and sisters"
