The title of Corporate Fellow is the highest possible level of technical recognition in the company, something that is currently limited only to four other employees. Back in October this year, AMD lost a Corporate Fellow, Phil Rogers, who moved to Nvidia. 

According to AMD, Michael Mantor made significant contribution to a diverse set of AMD graphics products including multiple generations of AMD Radeon graphics cards, as well as custom GPU which is powering current-gen consoles, Microsoft Xbox One and Sony Playstation 4.

Michael Mantor is a well known figure in the graphics industry and since joining ATI in 1999, he worked on several GPU architectures, plenty of technologies and he was a part of the team behind AMD's Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA). He also made major contributions to both the graphics industry and AMD with 45 patents issued to date.

As a Corporate Fellow, Mantor will continue to lead graphics and compute architecture teams in the development of next-generation architectures that will be used in PCs, game consoles, VR devices, workstations and super computers.
