    • AMD’s CTO Phil Hester resigns, not being replaced?

    By Darren Murph | April 11, 2008

    Filed under: ,

    Man, we know AMD’s had a bit of trouble meeting shipment (and chip performance) expectations lately, but it looks like things are really beginning to come apart at the seams. Merely four days after AMD trimmed its Q1 sales outlook and announced that it would be doing away with 10-percent of its workforce by Q3, the company’s CTO and senior vice president Phil Hester is voluntarily “stepping down.” According to Market Watch, the bigwig is doing so to “pursue other opportunities,” which is about as canned a reason as you can get. Still, the most intriguing part of the whole bit isn’t that Mr. Hester won’t be coming in to work on Monday, but that no replacement will be either. A chipmaker. With no chief technology officer. Sorry, but we aren’t buying that one just yet.
