AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) won ‘Company of the Year’ at the esteemed PCR Awards 2018 in London, UK, presented to AMD in recognition of its transformational impact across the computing industry following the launch of the AMD Ryzen™ family of processors, including AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™, and AMD Radeon™ RX 500 Series and Radeon™ RX Vega graphics cards.

"The PCR Company of the Year Award is designed to recognize a company that in 2017 delivered a truly transformative year, and AMD certainly fits the bill. After an extraordinary turnaround over the past three years, AMD has completely re-opened and disrupted the components market with the launch of its AMD Ryzen and Ryzen Threadripper CPUs, along with its array of graphics card options that are compelling in both capabilities and pricing. AMD’s strategy is a true example of how rethinking and taking risks is what this industry needs,” said PCR Editor Jonathan Easton.

“AMD Ryzen processors started a new era in high-performance computing PCs, delivering unprecedented levels of performance to consumers and businesses around the world,” said AMD Corporate Vice President Global Computing and Graphics Sales and President EMEA Darren Grasby. “We’re thrilled at the overwhelmingly positive response received from the PCR editorial team and the channel who have recognized AMD for delivering industry-changing products for businesses, enthusiasts, creators and gamers.”
