Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a leading American multinational semiconductor and technology company, headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with major operations in Austin, Texas. Founded in 1969 by Jerry Sanders and a group of former Fairchild Semiconductor employees, AMD began as a maker of memory chips and later entered the microprocessor market in 1975, positioning itself as a key rival to Intel[1][4][5]. AMD specializes in designing and developing **central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, and high-performance computing technologies**. Its products serve broad markets such as personal computers, gaming consoles, data centers, artificial intelligence (AI), and embedded systems. The company is known for its Ryzen and EPYC processor lines, which have competed effectively against Intel's offerings, and its Radeon graphics cards, which rival Nvidia in the GPU space[1][6]. A significant milestone in AMD's evolution was its 2022 acquisition of Xilinx, a major FPGA manufacturer, which expanded AMD's portfolio into adaptive computing and programmable hardware. In 2024, AMD acquired Silo AI, boosting its AI capabilities with enterprise-grade large language models and AI-driven solutions integrated into its hardware ecosystem[6]. AMD’s Instinct GPUs now compete in high-performance computing and AI acceleration markets, providing alternatives to Nvidia’s data center GPUs[6]. Historically, AMD has experienced ups and downs, including legal battles with Intel over processor compatibility and periods of financial challenge. However, since the early 2000s and especially recent years, AMD has gained significant market share and technological prestige. It is recognized for innovation, energy-efficient design, and corporate responsibility, with a workforce of around 25,000 employees worldwide[2][3]. Today, AMD stands as a high-performance and adaptive computing leader, powering next-generation computing experiences across gaming, data centers, AI, and embedded market
