Leading the industry to customer-centric innovation.
Founded in 1969 and based in Sunnyvale, California, AMD designs and produces innovative microprocessors, Flash memory devices, and low-power processor solutions for the computer, communications, and consumer electronics industries.

Innovation that’s customer-centric.
Since the beginning, our focus has gone beyond integrated circuits and transistors. AMD is committed to helping our customers—and their customers—use silicon to add value and help differentiate their offerings. After all, our customers' success is our success. That’s why AMD products are always developed with customer needs in mind and not for the sake of innovation alone. We provide real solutions for real customer problems that exist in the real world today. It’s a philosophy we refer to as “customer-centric innovation,” and it represents the guiding principle behind everything we do.

Our vision is clear.
At AMD, we never rest on our laurels. Our determination and passion for what we do compels us to keep looking for the next opportunity to succeed. With corporate locations in Sunnyvale, California and Austin, Texas; and global operations and manufacturing facilities in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Asia, we’re one of the world’s leading integrated circuit manufacturers. We’re also among the market leaders in each of our core businesses: microprocessors, flash memory devices, and low-power processor solutions for the computer, communications, and consumer electronics industries.

The future is waiting.
Because our customers’ needs are ever-changing, AMD understands the value of looking towards—and keeping pace with—the future. To help ensure we meet our customers’ needs today and tomorrow, AMD invests in state-of-the-art technology research many years in advance of first commercial use. In fact, we’re well underway in developing high-performance technologies targeted at the second half of the decade.
