AMD’s Raja Koduri is kind of a big deal. In ATI’s glory days, he was the principle architect of the R300 GPU — the world’s first DirectX 9-capable graphics card — which put the company on a path to be extremely competitive against Nvidia. Under Steve Jobs as Apple’s director of graphics architecture, he was instrumental in bringing their Retina Display to market. More recently at AMD, Koduri has been directly responsible for innovative new products like the Radeon Nano. So when I tell you about AMD’s freshly formed Radeon Technologies Group, and the fact that Koduri is being crowned as the group’s chief architect reporting directly to AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su, it’s news worth paying attention to.
