AMD exodus to Apple continues with Raja Koduri

The Inquirer reports that beyond last week’s news of Bob Drebin defecting to Apple, AMD/ATI processor star, Raja Koduri is heading to Cupertino as well.

We’ve just heard from sources deep inside 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, California that Raja is heading there.

Between PASemi, Bob Drebin and other things we can’t talk about yet, Apple is building up some serious hardware talent. All they need now is a good reliability person and a fire chief, and things will get really interesting on the hardware front in Cupertino.

This is getting quite interesting, if true.  These aren’t low level employees.  Both of these men have held CTO positions at AMD/ATI.  It would appear that Apple is ramping up to become a real chip player.
