AMD's CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, was recently awarded the Robert N. Noyce Medal from the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers. She is the first woman to receive an award from the organization.
Robert Norton Noyce (12 December 1927 – 3 June, 1990), nicknamed “the Mayor of Silicon Valley,” co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel in 1968. He is also credited (along with Jack Kilby) with the invention of the integrated circuit or microchip. While Kilby’s invention was six months earlier, neither man rejected the title of co-inventor.
