If you can believe it, AMD just turned 55 years old. The CPU and GPU manufacturer celebrated its 55th anniversary by restoring old photos of AMD employees taken in 1969 through Ryzen AI. AMD also AI-upscaled a 14-year-old video special taken during its 40th anniversary featuring Nvidia CEO Jensen, of all people.
AMD showed several restored photos from the company's history. The first was an archival photo of AMD's twelfth employee, Rich Previte. Previte worked at AMD for 30 years in various roles and was even the CFO and President of AMD for some time. Before his time at AMD, he was part of the U.S. Army as a finance officer, and later a financial analyst for the Western Development Laboratory of Philco Corporation. He graduated with a degree in business from San Jose State University. After retiring in 2000, he consulted on the spinout of AMD's non-volatile memory business that even eventually became Global Foundries.
