We heard that there is a big chance that Hector Ruiz will go into retirement or leave AMD sooner rather than later. This chap didn’t do particularly well in the last few years. Dirk Meyer, the second guy in charge, should take the helm and since he knows a hell of a lot more about CPUs than Hector, AMD might have some chances after all.
We are sure that AMD can get a better leader than Hector, but in all fairness the chap was CEO at the great times when K8 was a great CPU so we have to give him a credit at least for something.
AMD's Hector Ruiz to retire this year?
