제목이 곧 내용인데요... 장기휴가를 떠났던 AMD 그래픽카드 부문 수장이었던 라자 코두리가 AMD를 떠났다고 합니다.

그가 직원들에게 보낸 편지에서 AMD로 돌아올 생각은 없다고 하네요.

 

이하 전문입니다.

To my AMD family,

Forty is a significant number in  history. It is a number representing transition, testing and change. I  have just spent forty days away from the office going through such a  transition. It was an important time with my family, and it also offered  me a rare space for reflection. During this time I have come to the  extremely difficult conclusion that it is time for me to leave RTG and  AMD.

I have no question in my mind that RTG, and AMD, are marching  firmly in the right direction as high-performance computing becomes  ever-more-important in every aspect of our lives. I believe  wholeheartedly in what we are doing with Vega, Navi and beyond, and I am  incredibly proud of how far we have come and where we are going. The  whole industry has stood up and taken notice of what we are doing. As I  think about how computing will evolve, I feel more and more that I want  to pursue my passion beyond hardware and explore driving broader  solutions.

I want to thank Lisa and the AET for enabling me to  pursue my passion during the last four years at AMD, and especially the  last two years with RTG. Lisa has my utmost respect for exhibiting the  courage to enable me with RTG, for believing in me and for going out of  her way to support me. I would also like to call out Mark Papermaster  who brought me into AMD, for his huge passion for technology and for his  relentless support through many difficult phases. And of course, I want  to thank each and every one of my direct staff and my indirect staff  who have worked so hard with me to build what we have now got. I am very  proud of the strong leaders we have and I’m fully confident that they  can execute on the compelling roadmap ahead.

I will continue to be an ardent fan and user of AMD technologies for both personal and professional use.

As  I mentioned, leaving AMD and RTG has been an extremely difficult  decision for me. But I felt it is the right one for me personally at  this point. Time will tell. I will be following with great interest the  progress you will make over the next several years.

On a final  note, I have asked a lot of you in the last two years. You’ve always  delivered. You’ve made me successful both personally and professionally,  for which I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I have these  final requests from you as I leave:

. Stay focused on the roadmap!
. Deliver on your commitments!
. Continue the culture of Passion, Persistence and Play!
. Make AMD proud!
. Make me proud!

Yours,
Raja

아마도 내부적으로 문제가 있었나봅니다... 후임이 누가 될려나요... 이로서 AMD에겐 악재가 하나 생겨났네요.
