Lisa Su
The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Lisa Su presents as a quintessential Visionary, consistently framing AMD's technical roadmap within sweeping multi-year demand curves and civilizational-scale compute needs. In this CES interview, Su introduces the 'yottaflop' as a rhetorical anchor, projecting a hundredfold increase in global compute within five years and connecting chip architecture decisions directly to a world of five billion AI users. She articulates product strategy not as reactive competition but as anticipation of inflection points, from enterprise on-prem adoption to humanoid robotics. Su's emphasis on open ecosystems, deep partnerships, and turnkey deployment reflects a leader who sees the whole board, ensuring AMD's silicon is positioned at every layer of an AI-driven future she is actively helping to define.
“We think we have to increase compute by another one hundred times as you go over the next four or five years. A yottaflop is actually ten to the twenty fourth in terms of flop. That's a one followed by twenty four zeros.”
“We started our keynote last night with the sentence that you know, you ain't seen nothing yet. That's really how I feel.”
“AI is not just hype out there. It's things that people are using every day, real time and feeling like, hey, my life is better because I have this technology.”
