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.

      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.

      Oh my god can you people do a tiny bit of research before making yourselves look like morons with these comments??

      Go look up their parents and tell us more about how nepotism got them where they are. I’ll wait.

      But these two people are talented, not some upwards failing nepo babies. They both come from middle class immigrant families. Huang is a co-founder of NVidia not some guy who got the CEO job because he knows a guy. And Su has a Phd from MIT and had a long career in the industry before she got the CEO job at AMD when the company was at the brink of collapse.
