AMD is finally delivering 7nm processors for PC's to take on Intel and advancing their GPU's to take on NVIDIA. AMD has certainly rocked the boat in the PC world this year and just as things were really looking up for the company, a new report today claims that AMD's CEO may be making a move to IBM. It's a rumor that's hard to believe on the surface.

According to the PC news site Wccftech, "Lisa Su will go down in history as one of the most successful tech CEOs, having turned around AMD’s CPU side and making the PC market competitive once again. But while many of us like to think of her as a pillar of AMD, she has her own ambitions and there is a lot of chatter in the upper echelons of the company that she is planning to move on from AMD.

According to their sources, Lisa Su is eyeing the #2 position at IBM with the eventual goal to end up as CEO and President of IBM, replacing Ginni Rometty. The advanced groundwork for this transition has apparently already been laid down as you will read further in this article. While I do not know the exact reasons for why Lisa would choose IBM of all companies to move to, I am told that this is something that she has wanted for a very long time."

Update August 7, 2019 - 3:45 a.m. PST: While Wccftech is keeping the report up on their website, they killed the tweet of their report. They've updated their report with the following statement: 

"Update: Lisa Su has denied this story. The article will remain live for those that want to read it and since I stand by my reporting."
