Lepak reco­gni­zed at hig­hest tech­ni­cal level for out­stan­ding con­tri­bu­ti­ons to AMD pro­ces­sor design

SANTA CLARA, Calif. 10/28/2021 AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced the appoint­ment of Seni­or Fel­low and Ser­ver SoC (sys­tem on chip) Archi­tect Kevin Lepak to AMD Cor­po­ra­te Fel­low, in reco­gni­ti­on of his cri­ti­cal role in the design of next-gene­ra­ti­on AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors. Lepak achie­ved an excel­lent record of over­see­ing the exe­cu­ti­on and deli­very of lea­der­ship data cen­ter pro­ces­sors for AMD, inclu­ding 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs and next gene­ra­ti­on AMD Instinct™ acce­le­ra­tors. As AMD Cor­po­ra­te Fel­low, Lepak expands on his lea­der­ship in chip design to play a lar­ger role in evol­ving AMD’s pro­ces­sor and sys­tems vision.

“Kevin’s tech­ni­cal con­tri­bu­ti­ons made unde­niable posi­ti­ve impact on AMD over many years,” said Mark Paper­mas­ter, chief tech­no­lo­gy offi­cer and exe­cu­ti­ve vice pre­si­dent of Tech­no­lo­gy and Engi­nee­ring at AMD. “He play­ed an instru­men­tal role in soli­di­fy­ing the company’s lea­der­ship in the data cen­ter and con­ti­nues to work clo­se­ly with cus­to­mers to design future gene­ra­ti­ons of high-per­for­mance AMD pro­ducts. With his apti­tu­de for inno­va­ti­on, exe­cu­ti­on and col­la­bo­ra­ti­on, Kevin epi­to­mi­zes our high-per­for­mance culture.”

With 16 years at AMD, Lepak is a lea­ding tech­no­lo­gist with deep sub­ject mat­ter exper­ti­se in SoC design, memo­ry and I/O per­for­mance, and CPU archi­tec­tures. His tech­ni­cal apti­tu­de and cri­ti­cal role in archi­tec­ting an indus­try-lea­ding road­map have con­tri­bu­ted to signi­fi­cant data cen­ter growth. 

Pro­mo­ti­on to AMD Cor­po­ra­te Fel­low is an honor besto­wed to the most accom­plished inno­va­tors. AMD Cor­po­ra­te Fel­lows are appoin­ted after a rigo­rous review pro­cess that asses­ses not only spe­ci­fic tech­ni­cal con­tri­bu­ti­ons to the com­pa­ny, but also invol­vement in the indus­try, men­to­ring of others and impro­ving the long-term stra­te­gic posi­ti­on of the com­pa­ny. Curr­ent­ly, only eight engi­neers at AMD hold the title of Cor­po­ra­te Fellow.

About AMD

For more than 50 years AMD has dri­ven inno­va­ti­on in high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting, gra­phics and visua­liza­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies ― the buil­ding blocks for gam­ing, immersi­ve plat­forms and the data cen­ter. Hundreds of mil­li­ons of con­su­mers, lea­ding For­tu­ne 500 busi­nesses and cut­ting-edge sci­en­ti­fic rese­arch faci­li­ties around the world rely on AMD tech­no­lo­gy dai­ly to impro­ve how they live, work and play. AMD employees around the world are focu­sed on buil­ding gre­at pro­ducts that push the boun­da­ries of what is pos­si­ble.
