DailyTech - AMD's Chief Technology Officer Steps Down

The company today lost its Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Senior Vice President, Phil Hester. According to AMD's bio on Hester, which has since been removed from the site, he was "responsible for setting the architectural and product strategies and plans for AMD’s microprocessor business." Hester also chaired AMD's Technology Council. According to MarketWatch, Hester wishes to "pursue other opportunities" in his absence from AMD. Strangely, AMD says that there will be no replacement for Hester at the CTO position.

Maybe this is the dead weight AMD needs to actually get somewhere... or maybe its the straw that broke the camels back and AMD is almost dead... only time will tell...
