The AMD CEO responded to being awarded the SEMI Silicon Medal. She said, “I’m truly honored to receive the first SEMI Silicon Medal. SEMI has played a critical role in bringing our industry together to accelerate innovation and address important challenges. This recognition is a reflection of the incredible work being done across the semiconductor ecosystem to deliver high-performance technologies that are shaping the future.”
SEMICON West 2025 will follow the award, and will take place in Phoenix, Arizona, from October 7 to October 9. This marks the first time that SEMICON West has moved out of the San Francisco Bay Area. The change is due to Arizona’s increased importance to the semiconductor industry. AMD recently started manufacturing chips in TSMC’s (TSM) Arizona factory.
