There's no question that technology is extraordinarily competitive.

There's no question that technology is extraordinarily competitive.

The way we want to look at it is we would like to do end-to-end design in India. We've invested for many years, and so at some point, to do end-to-end product in India is very much a possibility.

My dad was a mathematician and worked for New York City as a statistician. My mom was an accountant and eventually started her own business in her mid-40s. She linked manufacturers in Taiwan to companies in the United States that needed those types of products.

AMD's history is we've always had great technology. We've had periods of time where we've done really, really well, and we've had periods of time where we've done not so well. But most of the time we've done well, it's because we've had a leadership product or some technology where we were out in front before anybody else.

When I step back and look at what's important to AMD, it's about graphics leadership - visual computing leadership - as well as a strong computing experience. We have the capability to integrate those two together.

The notion of what we're trying to do at AMD is about bringing out great technology, great products.

If I sound like a technology geek, that's probably because I am. But I also love running good businesses.

Make sure there are lots of Harvard M.B.A.s working for MIT Ph.D.s in the future.

Everyone in the semiconductor industry, everyone in the technology industry, would benefit from more diversity in the business.

We're so excited about technology. We can help turn the impossible into the possible.

My philosophy is, I can't make every product that can possibly use a high-performance CPU and graphics. Why shouldn't I enable others, in a positive fashion, to leverage AMD IP in more places?

I am grateful for the continued opportunity to take risks and learn from my mistakes as we at AMD strive to use technology to help solve some of the world's toughest challenges.

My parents were typical Asian parents, and they do, like all parents, want their children to be successful. They really encouraged my brother and I to study math and science, and that's what we did as kids.

Like many Asian parents, mine were very focused on education. My dad would quiz me with multiplication tables when I was about 5.

The world is starving for new ideas and great leaders who will champion those ideas.

Clarity of communication is important.

I did a lot of engineering things, like taking apart my brother's model car when I was 10. I also played the piano for about 10 years. I auditioned for Juilliard but didn't get in.

One of the key things is, when you look at semiconductor companies, it's all about experience.
