Lisa Su

AMD CEO Lisa Su engineered the semiconductor industry's most dramatic corporate turnaround, expanding AMD's market cap from $2 billion in 2014 to $250 billion—a 125-fold increase that outperforms #10 Demis Hassabis's team at Google DeepMind, which operates without comparable shareholder value creation. Her Instinct MI300X AI GPU directly challenged NVIDIA's dominant H100, securing major cloud deployments at Microsoft Azure and Meta that together command over 15% of the high-end AI accelerator market. Ryzen processors further recaptured 28% of PC market share from Intel, eroding a position Intel held for nearly two decades. Su's strategic focus on chiplet architecture and TSMC manufacturing delivered a 40% performance-per-watt advantage over comparable Intel server chips in 2024 benchmarks, cementing her as a transformative force in an industry she reshaped from near-collapse to leadership.
