From the PC to the console to the cloud, AMD and Microsoft have built a long-standing and transformative strategic partnership. I am proud of the work we have done at AMD to deliver leadership processors that enable Microsoft to bring the best to their customers. This latest generation of Microsoft Surface laptops is no exception.
