I thought Read was a placeholder CEO who was installed to conduct cost cutting. But you're right - a quick google search confirmed that Keller was hired during Read's tenure.

Agreed. Su had the smarts to get a performant chip made and hire the people to make it happen. You don't get market share with an also-ran offering.

He was the architect of Ryzen.

Thanks to Jim Keller.

> Keller is apparently moving to _Intel_ (according to a quick search).

I did find it odd when he took a hybrid hardware/software role at Tesla. Probably was mainly working on clockless low power neural net processors.

Considering what he did at AMD with meagre resources, I can't wait to see what impact he makes at Intel with an unlimited budget.
