Episode notes

Advanced Micro Devices operates at the nexus of high-performance computing, graphics, and adaptive visualization technologies. The company's fundamental transformation over the past five years has been defined by a deliberate, aggressive pivot away from highly cyclical consumer PC and gaming hardware toward high-margin, enterprise-grade data center infrastructure.
