AMD strives for innovations that transform markets, while inspiring the technology of tomorrow – exactly what the Edison Awards honors and represents.”

The Edison Awards are among the most prestigious accolades honoring excellence in new product and service development, marketing, human‐centered design and innovation. Unique to the world of award programs, the Edison Awards are focused on the innovators as much as the innovations. Award winners represent game-changing products, services and excellence and leadership in innovation around four criteria: concept, value, delivery and impact.

Edison Awards’ executive director Frank Bonafilia said, “It’s exciting to see companies like AMD continuing Thomas Edison’s legacy of challenging conventional thinking. The Edison Awards recognizes game‐changing products and services, and the teams that brought them to consumers.”

The voting panel includes senior level marketers, scientists, designers, engineers, academics and past award winners. Winners were announced on Wednesday at the Edison Awards Annual Gala, held in the historic Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco, Calif.
