Last Friday AMD said its CTO Phil Hester was resigning to 'pursue other opportunities,' claiming it had nothing to do with the 10% reduction in force it intends making to cut costs in the face of its sales shortfall. It also said it won't replace him. So observers, not believing that 'other opportunities' bit, figured that if AMD isn't spinning a yarn and trying to save a buck on a mostly decorative post and Hester's leaving under his own stream then, they speculated, it must have cut Hester's projects and, since he got to AMD in 2005, he's been most closely associated with the ATI Fusion and 'accelerated computing' ventures of putting CPUs and GPUs together on the same die in different ratios for different purposes. ...

AMD Chief Technology Officer Phil Hester resigned Friday, the third high-level departure in less than a year. The company said Hester is "pursuing other opportunities" and "has not disclosed his plans." When Hester was hired as CTO in 2005, he was charged with "guiding AMD's processor advancements" as well as managing advanced infrastructure strategies and "focusing on the seamless integration of next-generation computing functionality into AMD-powered systems." Hester was in charge of Fusion, AMD's next-generation processor, which is still 18 months away. AMD said it would not hire a new CTO but spread Hester's duties across the technology officers of its five business units. Not Part of Layoffs The departure comes just days after AMD warned it would not meet its projected revenues and laid off 10 percent of its 16,500-person global workforce. AMD said Hester's resignation was not related to the layoffs. And Roger Kay, principal analyst of Endpoint Technologies, said there are no signals that Hester is leaving a sinking ship. "They're offering reconfigured jobs to a lot of top managers and he didn't like what was offered," Kay said. "He was a visionary, but they don't need a lot of visionaries right now -- they need to execute." In addition, Hester was a "big salary," Kay said. "AMD views his departure with mixed feelings." Are we seeing the meltdown of the only meaningful competitor to Intel? Not necessarily, Kay ... Find more results for AMD CTO on RSSMicro.com |

Filed under: Desktops , Laptops Don't say the writing wasn't already littering the walls, because it was . Just months after AMD hacked its workforce by 10% and let its CTO walk away without being replaced , the company's second CEO after Jerry Sanders has spent his last day in AMD's biggest corner office. Hector Ruiz has decided to walk away from his role in the flagging outfit, leaving his right hand man (that would be Dirk Meyer) to take over whatever there is to take over. Of note, Mr. Ruiz will still have ties with the company as he remains on its board of directors as "executive chairman," though it's hard to say how much influence he'll have from there. Really though, what's next? [Thanks, nehemoth] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments ...
