In a shocking revelation coming at the end of the most successful CES in more than a decade, KitGuru has learned that Dirk Meyer will not be in charge of AMD for 2011.
Likely to be announced in the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times over the next 72 hours, the news comes as a big surprise to the technology industry assembled in Las Vegas.
The timing could not be more bizarre. As AMD prepares to post a massive increase in sales, the finger has been pointed at Dirk.
The full truth will come out later, but it would seem that AMD's old guard can't generate enough wins against Intel, while the graphics and chipset teams (largely ex-ATI) are winning with Radeon and Fusion.
Expect an announcement on a successor shortly.
KitGuru says: Dramatic move – but if AMD wants to achieve Fortune 500 status – then changes needed to be made
For real? christ thats big news. who will take over Terry Makedon ? :p
wow, just wow. I wonder what will happen !
quite the news story. I can imagine his hand out will be nice anyway.
A) AMD will be sold.
B) Llano or/and Bulldozer will be cancelled
C) A+B
Dont be daft. Its a good move. he has underperformed. Their CPU team needs a total kick up the arse.
Who is the No2 to take over then?
Their graphics cards are awesome, thanks to ATi buy over, but the processor side of things is so far behind. Dont get me wrong 1055t, 1090t, 1100T, all great, but unfortunately Intel are absolutely destroying them. And their quad cores? who cares! like a design from 3 years ago.
