AMD

AMD is a semiconductor company that designs high-performance and adaptive computing products. Its processors and graphics technology are used in personal computers, data centres, game consoles, embedded systems and professional workstations. AMD operates mainly as a fabless chip designer, working with external semiconductor manufacturers while concentrating its own resources on architecture, product design, software and platform development.

The company’s main product families include Ryzen processors for consumer and business computers, EPYC server processors, Radeon graphics products and Instinct accelerators for data-centre and artificial-intelligence workloads. AMD also supplies semi-custom chips used in gaming systems. Its acquisition of Xilinx added field-programmable gate arrays, adaptive system-on-chip products and tools for embedded, communications, industrial and aerospace applications. Pensando technology expanded AMD’s data-processing and infrastructure capabilities.

AMD was founded in 1969 by Jerry Sanders and a group of colleagues from Fairchild Semiconductor. It began as a supplier of logic and memory devices and later became a major producer of processors compatible with the x86 computing architecture. The company has competed across multiple generations of PC and server technology. Its Zen processor architecture, introduced commercially in 2017, supported renewed growth in consumer and data-centre markets.

AMD is headquartered at 2485 Augustine Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, United States. Its published corporate telephone number is +1 408 749 4000. The company provides separate online support for processors, graphics products, drivers, warranties, developers and business customers, along with contacts for regional offices.

For the most current product, office and support information, visitors should use the official AMD website, because regional availability and contact routes can change. Corporate services and product availability can differ by market.
