Summary
Raja Koduri is an Indian-American computer engineer, technology executive, and founder known for his influential leadership in graphics processing and next-generation computing technologies. Born in Kovvur, Andhra Pradesh, India, he earned a bachelor’s degree in electronics and communications from Andhra University and a Master of Technology from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur. Koduri has spent more than two decades shaping the architecture of graphics processing units (GPUs) and computing platforms across multiple leading technology companies.
Raja Koduri is a technology executive and chief architect with nearly three decades of leadership in GPU architecture, silicon design, and software platforms. He has led some of the most important graphics and compute transformations across Intel, AMD, ATI, and Apple, shaping the modern GPU industry from consumer graphics to exascale and AI systems.
As Executive Vice President and Chief Architect at Intel, Raja led the Architecture, Graphics, and Software organization, managing a global team of 10,000 employees and responsible for Intel’s discrete & integrated GPU strategy. He architected the Xe Graphics IP, utilized from integrated notebook graphics to large scale data center device, which culminated into the delivery of Ponte Vecchio, the industry’s first peta-scale GPU in a single package built with 47 chiplets. He launched Intel Arc, Intel’s first consumer discrete GPU family in decades, and drove the creation of Intel’s GPU software ecosystem, including oneAPI and graphics drivers.
Previously, Raja served as Senior Vice President and Chief Architect at AMD, where he led the historic turnaround of the Radeon Technologies Group. Reporting directly to CEO Lisa Su, he rebuilt AMD’s graphics division from near collapse into a profitable business. He architected three GPU generations (Polaris, Vega, and Navi) restoring AMD’s competitiveness and market share. Under his leadership, Radeon secured multi-billion-dollar semi-custom wins with Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox, established a standalone P&L for graphics, delivered the industry’s first GPU with High-Bandwidth Memory, and founded AMD’s MI data center GPU segment, which evolved into today’s MI100, MI200, and MI300 AI products.
Earlier, Raja was Director of Graphics Architecture at Apple, where he drove the transition to Retina displays across the Mac lineup, delivering industry-leading graphics performance while advancing power-efficient GPU architectures for mobile and desktop systems. His work at Apple influenced graphics roadmaps across the broader industry.
Raja also served as Chief Technology Officer of ATI Technologies’ Graphics Products Group, leading GPU architecture across multiple DirectX generations. During this period, ATI became the market-leading GPU vendor and navigated its $5.4B acquisition by AMD. He began his career as a Graphics Architect at S3 Graphics, where he built the foundation of his expertise in consumer GPU design.
Raja is widely recognized for bridging hardware and software, scaling teams, and delivering first-of-kind architectures that redefine performance, efficiency, and platform reach.
In 2023, Raja founded Oxmiq Labs in Campbell, California, to rethink how high-performance computing scales and who gets access to it. Oxmiq focuses on licensable GPU IP and cross-platform software designed to make advanced compute more open, efficient, and widely deployable. The company raised $20M in seed funding from strategic investors including MediaTek and built a world-class team of GPU and AI architects with more than 200 years of combined experience. Oxmiq is developing a full-stack GPU platform, including OxCapsule, OxPython, OxCore, and OxQuilt, while forming strategic partnerships across the silicon ecosystem to enable next-generation AI and compute infrastructure.
