AMD CEO Lisa Su announced today through her official Twitter account that the company's investors had "overwhelmingly approved our strategic acquisition of Xilinx." At the time of writing, the company's shares maintain growth of around 1.68% with a value of $ 82.81 per share, somewhat far from the almost $ 100 they cost at the beginning of the year, but a great jump from the 76 dollars of the past March 30.
