The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is now in full swing (albeit virtually), and today is a particular busy one.

AMD chief executive officer Dr. Lisa Su hauled in $58.5 million in compensation last year, making her the highest paid CEO in the S&P 500.

The big tech news this week is the official unveiling of Ampere, following months and months (years, really) of rumors.

Part of what's interesting about this is it was not always a given AMD would get to this point. It has... Read more...
The first batch of Navi cards are solid efforts by AMD—both the Radeon RX 5700 XT and Radeon RX 5700 do a good job of competing with comparatively priced graphics cards from NVIDIA. That said, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is still the king of the hill. AMD does not have a card to compete with that beast, but company CEO... Read more...

AMD is investing heavily into 7-nanometer manufacturing technology, both for its CPUs and GPUs, only one of which currently competes at the high end of the market.
