AMD creates a new CPU Design Center in New York to assist with hiring CPU developers and GPU design teams
Mike Evans of AMD posted a screenshot to give the public and potential hires a general idea of the positions available on the AMD website. The entries for AMD’s CPU section seek to employ several verification engineers, a CPU core performance architect, and a senior Infinity Fabric verification engineer. Given the diversity and nature of those positions, we might be looking at establishing another R&D site ready to expand and extend into the future. During the last several years, AMD was highly successful with the Ryzen client-based and data center-based EPYC processors. AMD’s research and development departments saw increasing budget costs, surpassing $1 billion in 2016 to $2.8 billion by 2021. Since the most significant percentage of sales is funneled into research and development expenses, it allows the company to produce further assistance in creating new hardware and software advancements. — Mike Evans of AMD on Twitter With AMD funneling technology from the acquisition of Xilinx, the upcoming anticipated release of the company’s new RDNA 3 architecture for their graphics processor lines, heavy focus on open-source transparency and compatibility, their upcoming Zen4 series processors, along with the high success rate over the last years, NVIDIA and Intel may need to rethink strategies to keep up with their current highly successful rival.
