By delivering the next generation of AI and compute solutions, she has been integral in developing technology to help solve many of the world’s most pressing challenges. Su has earned several esteemed awards throughout her career, including receiving TIME’s 2024 CEO of the Year and being recognized as one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and 100 Most Influential People in AI, as well as IEEE’s highest semiconductor honor – the Robert N. Noyce Medal.
“We are delighted to present our first SEMI Silicon Medal to Dr. Lisa Su,” said Ajit Manocha, President and CEO, SEMI. “Her commitment to high-performance computing has been instrumental in propelling the trajectory of the global semiconductor industry. We thank Lisa for her contributions to the industry and for setting a high bar for the Medal’s exemplary standard for transformational leadership, strategic innovation, and making a meaningful impact for generations to come.”
“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,” said Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD. “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. I'm proud to be part of this amazing industry and excited for what we’ll achieve next.”
The SEMI Leaders & Legends Honors event will take place on October 6 at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. The invitation-only event will include approximately 250 distinguished guests, including SEMI member C-Suite executives, public officials from Arizona, SEMI International and North America Advisory Board members, and SEMI executive leadership.
For the first time in its history, SEMICON West* will be leaving the Bay Area and debuting in Phoenix from October 7-9. The move represents a major step forward for Arizona as a hub for global semiconductor innovation.
