GPU’s are a family business it would seem.

Su’s mother and Nvidia co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang are first cousins. Su’s maternal grandfather is the eldest brother of Huang’s mother.

    Because rich folks get their kids high level jobs. If they are remotely competent (not even talented), they’ll get jobs like CEO in a heart beat. Who you know and who you are related to still is the biggest indicator of success.

      Just so we’re clear here, while I don’t disagree with what you’re saying about rich people, Lisa Su isn’t some nepo baby that got the CEO job because of rich parents , she worked her arse off and actually took the job when AMD was failing hard. She turned the company around quite significantly.

      She’s not without flaw, AMD is clearly behind on GPU tech but when Lisa took over, people laughed at the idea of AMD CPU’s in the data centre. Now compare AMD’s fortunes to Intel’s.
