2013-09-01 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE: AMD) or AMD is an American multination来自al semiconductor company based in Su360问答nnyvale, California, that develops computer processor几了民观绍营苏相s and relat备亲齐出赶及呀渐ed technologies for commercial an干触煤斗次适造众夜我d consumer markets. Its main products incl光伤轮个检受官开复ude microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors and graphic状孔s processors for servers, workstations and personal computers, and embedded systems application哪沙她小棉准充百绍s.
AMD is the second-largest g费化lobal supplier of mic怎呼七慢量最两写英roprocessors based on the x86 architecture and also one of 牛教the largest suppliers of graph山殖试ics processing un永耐困量its. It also owns 8.6% of Spansion, a supplier of non-甚volatile flash memory.
AMD is the only s南讨奏么守请证低配效ignificant rival to Intel in the centra举般全宽苗建粒激l processor (CPU) market for (x86 based) personal computers或损且测板管手抗且倍. Together the善底事交无y held 99.1 percent (Intel 80.3%, AMD 18.8%) of the CPU's sold for quarter three of 2011.[dubious – discuss] Since acquiring ATI in 2006, AMD and its competitor Nvidia have dominated the discrete graphics processo教策组抓胶曲r unit (GPU) market, together making up virtually 100% of the market.
Advanced Micro Devices was founded on May 1, 1969, by a group of forme例道水山属升附明各沙r executives from Fairchild Semiconductor, including Jerry Sanders III, Ed Turney, John Carey, Sven Simonsen, Jack Gifford and three members from Gifford's team, Frank Botte, Jim Giles, and Larry Stenger. The company began as a producer of logic chips, then entered the RAM chip business in 1975. That same year, it introduced a reverse-engineered clone of the Intel 8080 microprocessor. During this period, AMD also designed and produced a series of bit-slice processor elements (Am2900, Am29116, Am293xx) which were used in various minicomputer designs.
During this time, AMD attempted to embrace the perceived shift towards RISC with their own AMD 29K processor, and also attempted to diversify into graphics and audio devices as well as EPROM memory. It had some success in the mid-1980s with the AMD7910 and AMD7911 "World Chip" FSK modem, one of the first multistandard devices that covered both Bell and CCITT tones at up to 1200 baud half duplex or 300/300 full duplex. The AMD 29K survived as an embedded processor and AMD spinoff Spansion continues to make industry-leading flash memory. AMD decided to switch gears and concentrate solely on Intel-compatible microprocessors and flash memory, placing them in direct competition with Intel for x86-compatible processors and their flash memory secondary markets.
AMD announced the acquisition of ATI Technologies on July 24, 2006. AMD paid $4.3 billion in cash and 58 million shares of its stock, for a total of US$5.4 billion. The transaction completed on October 25, 2006.
It was reported in December 2006 that AMD, along with its main rival in the graphics industry Nvidia, received subpoenas from the Justice Department regarding possible antitrust violations in the graphics card industry, including the act of fixing prices.
In October 2008, AMD announced plans to spin off manufacturing operations in the form of a multibillion-dollar joint venture with Advanced Technology Investment Co., an investment company formed by the government of Abu Dhabi. The new venture is called GlobalFoundries Inc.. This partnership will allow AMD to focus solely on chip design.
In August 2011, AMD announced that former Lenovo executive Rory Read would be joining the company as CEO.
On November 3, 2011, AMD said it was going to lay off 1,400 employees, about 10 percent of its worldwide staff. The curtailment will be finalized at Q1 2012 and mainly before Christmas 2011. It will cut operational costs by $10 million in Q4 2011 and more than $200 million in 2012.
