AMD co-founder Ed Turney dies

Ed was a legend in his own right. If he hadn't co-founded AMD, Intel would be the only major processor manufacturer out there, and they wouldn't have had any competition. I respect Ed for standing up and daring to compete with the Big 'Uns.

Rest in Peace, Mr Turney.

Thank you Ed. 

From a loyal AMD customer, thank you for your work over the years. Keep cracking that whip from beyond the grave and make sure that they continue putting out awesome products!

AMD Plants all over San Jose 

There are AMD fabs all over Silicon Valley. The place even has streets named after chip manufacture. The industry founders have left a lasting legasy. R.I.P Mr Turney..

Thanks Ed for producing a great alternative to the big boys and proving that even the little dude can make a difference
