AMD Takes On the World in the Datacenter and Cloud | Gestalt IT Rundown: October 5, 2022

Since taking over AMD's enterprise chip business in 2014, Forrest Norrod has built the perennial also-ran into a CPU powerhouse. Now that AMD is truly a major player in CPUs, the company has broadened into network adapters (acquiring Xilinx and Pensando for DPUs) and is seeing traction in ML. The Next Platform sat down with Norrod for an in-depth interview covering the competition with Intel, the development of CXL, why they bought Xilinx and Pensando, and what the future holds. This is something we've been covering for years here at Gestalt IT, so what more does this interview tell us? This and more on this week's Rundown. Head to GestaltIT.com for show notes.
