Comparing AMD And Nvidia

In this day and year, technology has advance more and more to the point that technology is almost everywhere and two of those companies are led by Lisa Su, the President and Chief Executive Officer of AMD and Jen-Hsun Huang, the Co-founder, President and CEO of NVidia. AMD or “Advance Micro Devices”, is a multinational semiconductor company which works with technology in powering computers, game consoles, and cloud servers. While NVidia is an American Technology company, which develops graphics processing units for gaming, computer graphics, system on a chip for mobile computing, and automotive markets. So by comparing and contrasting their background, achievements, leadership, products, and video cards in order to understand more about Lisa

Su was also named “2014 Executive of the Year at the EETimes and EDN 2014 ACE Awards and was honored in MIT Technology Review’s Top 100 Young Innovators in 2002”. (“Hruska”) Su also served as the Board of Directors of Analog Devices, the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) and the U.S. Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). In Huang’s own right, he gained “Morris Chang Exemplary Leadership Award from the Global Semiconductor Association, the Daniel J. Epstein Engineering Management Award from the University of Southern California, and the EB Lemon Distinguished Alumni Award and an honorary doctorate from Oregon State University”. (“Jen-Hsun”) In 2015, Huang was one of the world’s best-performing CEOs over the years. In Huang’s earlier years before founding NVIDIA, Huang worked at LSI Logic and Advanced Micro Devices, surprising as in one situation there was a thought of AMD buying NVidia and wanting to make Huang the CEO, but the CEO of AMD back then refused the thought and bought ATI instead of NVidia. Comparing the two of them, Huang proves to be more successful than Su, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Huang is better than Su, just that by achievements, Huang is better than Su in some area and Su is better than Huang in some aspect as

Though it seems he is known for having little tolerance against screw-ups such as “In one legendary meeting, he's said to have ripped into a project team for its tendency to repeat mistakes. “Do you suck?" he asked the stunned employees. "Because if you suck, just get up and say you suck". The message: If you need help, ask for it”. (“Meet”) Su seems to be more focused on trying to see “what’s today will be better tomorrow”. (“Lee”) Showing that like all companies are trying to create more advance technology, she wishes to be able to move on better especially on “virtual reality” and “medical imaging”. Su is more popular towards minority women’s. Su was someone who was meant to succeed in that even when she was in college at MIT, she was praised by her electrical engineering skills, and that “she is destined to go far in the industry because of her excellent technical and people skills”. (“Lee”) While both of them do display an amount of talent at leading their companies, they have their own method of doing things. Such as Huang demands that workers tell them that “they need help”. (“Meet”) as they won’t be able to complete their project on time and that would damage the company’s reputation. And Su, will try to move on to new technology that is similar and different from Huang as they both are doing
