AMD to build new CPU design center in New York to boost R&D capabilities

Recently, AMD has seen a huge increase in its sales, which has caused the company to rethink the budget of its research and development department, which spends millions of dollars in research and development every quarter. AMD's R&D department will further assist the company in developing core technologies and products.

The company is now hiring a slew of new employees for the New York CPU Design Center, which will focus on next-generation processor design. AMD's Mike Evans posted a screenshot to give the public and potential employees an overview of jobs on AMD's website. The AMD CPU division seeks to hire several verification engineers, a CPU core performance architect, and a senior Infinity Fabric verification engineer. Given the diversity and nature of these positions, AMD may consider establishing another R&D base, ready to expand and extend into the future.

AMD has had great success with Ryzen client-based and datacenter-based EPYC processors over the past few years. AMD's R&D budget continues to increase, surpassing $1 billion in 2016 and reaching $2.8 billion by 2021. Since the most significant percentage of sales is channeled into research and development expenses, it helps the company move forward in hardware and software development.

With AMD gaining technology from its acquisition of Xilinx, the company is about to release the new RDNA 3 architecture for its graphics processor line, a strong focus on open source transparency and compatibility, AMD's upcoming Zen4 series processors, and the past few Years of high success rates, Nvidia and Intel may need to rethink their strategies to keep up with their currently highly successful rivals.
