SAN JOSE, Calif. – Just weeks after sharing skeptical views on the future of ARM-based servers, Forest Norrod is departing Dell to join Advanced Micro Devices where he will be the general manager of AMD's group that sells, among other things, ARM-based server SoCs.
AMD named Norrod senior vice president and general manager of its Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom (EESC) group, reporting to chief executive Lisa Su. The EESC group is the faster growing half of AMD after a reorg earlier this year that split the company in two. AMD's other division sells mobile and PC processors and graphics chips.
