Amd Ceo Su Zifeng: Security Vulnerabilities Alarm The Industry

Sina Technologies News Evening News of 8 January Beijing Time, AMD CEO Su Zifeng said today that last year's“Fuse“and“ghost”Two processor vulnerabilities have alarmed the industry.

Unconsciously, it's 2019. For technology companies, the new year usually means that a variety of new products are coming. This point can be seen from the current CES exhibition.

At this time a year ago, semiconductor companies such as Intel and AMD suffered a painful blow. In January last year, security researchers revealed the code name of the project as uuuuuuuuuuu“Fuse“and“ghost”Two processor A-level vulnerabilities affect chips such as mobile phones, computers and servers, making it possible for hackers to steal personal information.

In this regard, AMD CEO Su Zifeng said the two loopholes sounded an alarm for the whole industry. She said:“I think this is a wake-up call for our chip manufacturers. Safety is fundamental. From the first day you buy a processor, you hope it doesn't leak your data.”

“We can never say that we have taken everything into consideration.”But AMD is investing a lot of resources in engineering to design safer hardware and software in product roadmap in the next few years.

As we all know, Intel, AMD's competitor, originally planned to launch a 10-nanometer processor last year, but was delayed due to technical reasons. For a long time, Moore's law has been the dominant driving force of innovation in the chip industry.

Faced with the slowdown of Moore's law, Su Zifeng was not disturbed. She said:“What does this mean for us? We have to work harder to get the performance improvements we used to get. That means we have to be creative.”

Su adds that all market fluctuations, boom-bust cycles and technological disruptions represent opportunities. For the recovering AMD, business opportunities are limitless. She said:“Hardware may come back again‘sexy’Get up and we're excited about it.”
