AMD announced this week that Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Henri Richard is leaving the company in September 2007. Word from The Register is that he’ll leave Sept 8, just 2 days before the Sept 10 launch of Barcelona. The Reg also reports that Richard is leaving the PC industry.
AMD’s spin is positive, but they company is having a hard time managing expectations and staying competitive, so this move could be a signal that they are finally serious about trying to turn things around.
