Times of change are taking place at AMD, not only because of the migration of GlobalFoundries to TSMC to manufacture its next 7nm chips, but because the company's Senior Vice President Jim Anderson has just resigned.
Jim Anderson of AMD goes to another semiconductor company
As AMD moves into the next phases of its Vega and Threadripper chip architectures, it has also made two business changes that appear to be key: Jim Anderson, who oversaw AMD's 'Computing and Graphics Group', has left the company. Additionally, AMD has switched its manufacturing to TSMC, moving away from GlobalFoundries.
Anderson, who appeared on PCWorld's The Full Nerd podcast just two weeks ago to explain the ins and outs of AMD's new second-generation chip Threadripper, has left to become CEO of Lattice Semiconductor, an FPGA maker. Anderson will receive several million dollars in shares and incentives, according to a Lattice statement. An AMD spokesman said Anderson's professional ambition has always been to become CEO.
Saeid Moshkelani has been appointed to replace Anderson
Saeid Moshkelani has been appointed to replace Anderson as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Client Compute Group, overseeing AMD's integrated CPUs and APUs. Moshkelani was responsible for the realization of the semi-customs APU chips for Xbox and Playstation, so it seems that the man already comes with a good resume to be in office.
AMD is in full transition after losing several very important executives, including Raja Koduri. Although it is never a good time for a key executive to leave, Anderson was not responsible for overseeing the rollout of a new architecture, although he was involved in future versions of the Zen architecture that AMD released last year. This departure joins that of graphics executive Raja Koduri to Intel in late 2017, as well as the previous departure of Zen processor architect Jim Keller, also to Intel. Chris Hook, who was in charge of marketing Radeon graphics cards, also left Sunnyvale's for Intel.
