Lisa Su, chair and CEO of AMD, said in Seoul that gaming remains a core business for the company even as artificial intelligence sits at the center of high-performance computing. The remarks came at AMD Gamers Day on October 7 at Dragon City in Yongsan, according to the Seoul Economic Daily and Inven's coverage.
What Su said
According to the Seoul Economic Daily, Su said gaming is a core area of computing and a field that constantly demands high performance. She also said AI and gaming will meet more often from here on. The outlet notes that the quotes come from a Korean-language report and may not match the original English wording word for word.
Su singled out the Korean audience. The paper reports that she called Korea a special place for gamers and described Ryzen and Radeon users there as among the most demanding in AMD's community. She recalled that the first major use of Ryzen and the Zen architecture was gaming, and that X3D processors were also built with that audience in mind.
FSR Redstone and production cycles
Jack Huynh, senior vice president of the computing and graphics group, was also at the event. The Seoul Economic Daily reports that he presented FSR 4 and FSR Redstone as a package that goes beyond upscaling: frame generation, frame interpolation and ray regeneration. AMD's stated goal is to render games faster and with higher quality, and to make the PC itself smarter.
Huynh also talked about AI in production. The report says the aim is to cut cycles that ran about 10 years down to something around 3 to 4 years. He said AI should not replace artists' creativity, but expand their tools so they can work faster. That is an AMD statement of intent, not a confirmed schedule for a specific game.
Consoles and the installed base
Huynh also said, according to the paper, that about 1 billion gaming devices worldwide run on AMD technology. He cited not only PCs but PlayStation and Xbox, and spoke of a lineup from enthusiast to mid-range. Su added that, as AI grows in weight, more recent products should combine Ryzen and AI features.
Inven recorded the event with hardware demos, a player session and esports athletes on site, including Bae "Knee" Jae-min. Su's Seoul agenda also included meetings on Korean AI chips, reported by the Korea Herald, on a track separate from Gamers Day.
