AMD chair, president, and CEO Lisa Su celebrated her 10th anniversary in the top job with major new product announcements during the company's Advancing AI event in San Francisco. The company wants to be the leader in AI chip manufacturing, from the desktop through to the data centre, and it's bringing the goods to the table.
With Intel's processors in the news since January 2018 over CPU flaws, it should come as no surprise to see AMD urging government agencies and corporate bodies to "keep an open mind about their CPU and GPU options when purchasing their fleet of desktops, notebooks and servers".
AMD's new Athlon processors, Athlon PRO processors, and 2nd Gen Ryzen PRO desktop processors "provide generational leap in performance, every day to enterprise-focused workloads, and unified Socket AM4 infrastructure", the company claims.

In late 2017, I attended two AMD events, one on AMD's Ryzen Mobile processor, and the second on AMD's Ryzen Pro for Australia's workforce, and they're available for you to watch, in full.
The year 2017 is the one that must have shaken Intel to the core, having coasted on incremental updates for over half a decade, with AMD the stunning CPU disruptor in the consumer and now business space.
