Since the Sino-US chip war officially started a few years ago, the relevant departments have also made great efforts to strengthen the research and development of domestic chips, and when it comes to the world's most well-known chip companies, we have to mention Nvidia and AMD.
There is no doubt that Nvidia is currently close to $2,000 billion in market capitalization, which can be called the world's unique superchip giant, in addition, AMD has also had a trend of catching up in recent years.
Because according to the data as of the end of last year, we found that AMD's market capitalization has exceeded the $310 billion mark, and the growth trajectory of Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, is definitely impressive.
So how did this figure, known as the queen of chips, lead AMD to successfully counterattack?
Su Lifeng, born in Tainan City, Taiwan Province in 1969, immigrated to the United States at the age of 3.
Her father earned a Ph.D. in computer science in the United States and became a successful entrepreneur and economic researcher.
Lisa Su received rigorous training in mathematics since childhood, and began to learn piano at the age of 5.
But despite showing her talent, her father advised her to take it as a hobby, and she chose to devote herself to the field of electrical engineering.
A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she went on to gain experience as an engineer at Texas Instruments and IBM.
Lisa joined AMD in 2012 as an engineer, and just two years later, she became CEO of the company with outstanding performance and leadership.
At this time, however, AMD was not in a good position, with a debt of $2.2 billion.
But under Su's leadership, the company has undergone a series of reforms, including the launch of the ZEN chip architecture and the third-generation CPU, which has caused the market value to soar rapidly.
She started with 04% of the shares became the majority shareholder of the company, and the market value of the shares has exceeded $1.2 billion.
Lisa Su's success did not happen overnight, as she quickly rose from an engineer to CEO, leading the company into a rapid growth trajectory.
In 2016, she cashed out $400 million in a lump sum, making her personal net worth more than $1.6 billion.
Among the world's 500 richest people, only 26 are professional managers, and Su Lifeng has become one of them, which can be called the pinnacle of migrant workers.
In fact, the rise of AMD is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a careful management and internal reform of the company, which has simplified the company's structure and injected new vitality into AMD.
This transformation transformed AMD from a debt-ridden company to a $310 billion giant, and Su's talent and charisma have brought the company success and earned her personal global attention.
It is worth noting that Lisa Su and Nvidia's Jensen Huang are related, which makes the entire chip industry full of dramatic elements.
But this did not prevent her from going further and further on the road of success at AMD, and her success is not only an affirmation of personal struggle, but also a model for Chinese Americans to emerge on the global technology stage.
It can be said that AMD's success is not only a tribute to Lisa Su's leadership, but also a testimony to the prosperity of the entire chip industry.
With the booming global AI industry, AMD's future prospects are even more impressive. Lisa Su's talent and decision-making breathed new life into the company, and her fortune continued to rise.
But behind this, we also have to think about a problem: although the rise of the global chip industry has made a group of individuals successful, it has also made some countries use chips to get stuck in their necks.
The United States, as the giant of the global chip industry, holds this strategic point, and it is worrying that this monopoly position may lead to some geopolitical fluctuations.
For China and other countries, how to find their foothold in the global chip industry has become a difficult problem for every country.
Looking back at the rise of AMD, in addition to Lisa Su's personal struggle, we also see a larger trend, that is, the emergence of Chinese people in the global technology industry.
The success of Jensen Huang, Jianhou Liang, Lisa Su and others is a testament to the achievements of the Chinese on the global technology stage, but at the same time, it also reminds us to remain vigilant in the global technology competition and strive to find more breakthroughs.
It can be said that the legendary story of AMD female CEO Su Lifeng is a bright pearl in the global technology industry, and her success is not only the result of personal struggle, but also a great contribution to the global chip industry.
In this era full of opportunities and challenges, we look forward to more scientific and technological elites emerging to inject new vitality into the global development of science and technology.
Looking to the future, the global chip industry will continue to maintain a rapid development trend, and for NVIDIA and AMD, opportunities and challenges coexist.
In terms of opportunities, the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, and the Internet of Things will bring huge market space to the chip industry.
In terms of challenges, the global chip industry is becoming increasingly competitive, and how to maintain technology leadership and market share will be a key consideration for the two companies.
Driven by the chip wave, Huang and Lisa Su are leading their respective companies to demonstrate strong competitiveness on the global stage.
Their successful experience is worth learning and learning from.
As a Chinese, I also hope that they can abandon the dark and turn to the light as soon as possible and contribute to my country's chip industry.
