Former IBM Fellow and former Newisys CTO Rich Oehler has joined AMD's Office of Strategy and Technology reporting to CTO Fred Weber.

He's there to align AMD's multi-core enterprise-class strategies with the needs of the Fortune 1000.

Oehler is treasured for his work in microprocessors, SMP and mission-critical systems design. Newisys was the Texas company full of ex-IBMers that tried to make it as a systems vendor with Opteron-based servers. It was acquired by Sanmina-SCL, which built boxes for AMD.

When last seen last September, Newisys was working on leapfrogging Opteron's native eight-processor limitation and building 32-way or better Opteron systems.
