She said AMD doubled sales last year from 2018 and the company intends to outperform last year in 2020.
Su and her team of presenters showed upgrades to its AMD Ryzen, Ryzen Threadripper and AMD Radion microprocessors on different computer brands.
AMD has partnered with Microsoft, Sony, Apple, Stadia, Google and Lenovo and had product demonstrations on Xbox, Dell and Lenovo Yoga machines.
Last year, the company demonstrated its Ryzen 3000 series of mobile processors. This year, it offered the Ryzen 4000 upgrade.
The processing speeds are ideal for fans of computer video gaming with elaborate graphics and movement.
