原本說去"度假"三個月的Raja 現在離開AMD-RTG囉

Raja給員工的memo:

'To my AMD family,

Forty is a significant number in history. It is a number representing
transition, testing and change. I have just spent forty days away from the
office going through such a transition. It was an important time with my
family, and it also offered me a rare space for reflection. During this time
I have come to the extremely difficult conclusion that it is time for me to
leave RTG and AMD.

I have no question in my mind that RTG, and AMD, are marching firmly in the
right direction as high-performance computing becomes ever-more-important in
every aspect of our lives. I believe wholeheartedly in what we are doing
with Vega, Navi and beyond, and I am incredibly proud of how far we have come
and where we are going. The whole industry has stood up and taken notice of
what we are doing. As I think about how computing will evolve, I feel more
and more that I want to pursue my passion beyond hardware and explore driving
broader solutions.

I want to thank Lisa and the AET for enabling me to pursue my passion during
the last four years at AMD, and especially the last two years with RTG. Lisa
has my utmost respect for exhibiting the courage to enable me with RTG, for
believing in me and for going out of her way to support me. I would also
like to call out Mark Papermaster who brought me into AMD, for his huge
passion for technology and for his relentless support through many difficult
phases. And of course, I want to thank each and every one of my direct staff
and my indirect staff who have worked so hard with me to build what we have
now got. I am very proud of the strong leaders we have and I'm fully
confident that they can execute on the compelling roadmap ahead.

I will continue to be an ardent fan and user of AMD technologies for both
personal and professional use.

As I mentioned, leaving AMD and RTG has been an extremely difficult decision
for me. But I felt it is the right one for me personally at this point.
Time will tell. I will be following with great interest the progress you
will make over the next several years.

On a final note, I have asked a lot of you in the last two years. You've
always delivered. You've made me successful both personally and
professionally, for which I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I
have these final requests from you as I leave:

. Stay focused on the roadmap!
. Deliver on your commitments!
. Continue the culture of Passion, Persistence and Play!
. Make AMD proud!
. Make me proud!

Yours,
Raja
