Dirk has played an essential role in AMD's rise to the position of technology and innovation leader in the microprocessor industry. He has made amazing progress with our microprocessor business, making it the envy of our industry. His leadership, operational skills and business acumen have positioned the company for long-term, sustainable growth, and I'm very pleased that AMD now will benefit from those skills on an even grander scale.
