She brought AMD back from the brink of bankruptcy | Risk Takers
Even though the company was bleeding money, laden with debt and staring down a potential bankruptcy, becoming chief executive of chip maker Advanced Micro Devices was a dream job for Lisa Su.
«When you grow up as a tech person — and I spent my career in semiconductors — there aren't that many large US semiconductor companies. So I was really excited to become CEO,» Su told CNN Business. She liked that she could walk around a Best Buy and pick up a laptop, knowing that the microchip or processor her company built was powering it.
Not everyone would have been so enthusiastic. When Su took the helm of AMD in 2014, its stock was heading toward an all-time low.
But Su, now one of the most powerful women in tech, likes a challenge. She says that's why she became an engineer in the first place. She had to make bold bets — some of which wouldn't begin pay off for five years — to turn AMD around.

AMD's Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 CPUs now have specs, prices, architectural info, and release dates: The R9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, R7 5800X, and R5 5600X CPUs get detailed in this video.

Article will publish on a few hour delay to allow the video time to breathe.
AMD's new Ryzen CPUs will run the Zen 3 architecture, which gets initial detailing in this content piece, and will be named in the Ryzen 5000 series. That includes the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 7 5800X, and Ryzen 5 5600X, with «no current plans» for additional CPUs at this time; clearly, at some point, we'd expect a 5600 or maybe 5500 of some sort, as there's still the $200 price-point to try and satisfy. AMD's pricing is set at $300 at the bottom and $800 at the high-end, with motherboard support provided by the existing X570 and B550 motherboards. B450 and X470 boards will have some support and are discussed in this content. Benchmarks, performance numbers, and reviews will likely be out around the November 5th timeframe, which is when these new CPUs launch.
