Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is an innovative technology company dedicated to collaborating with customers and partners to ignite the next generation of computing and graphics solutions at work, home and play.

We are a global semiconductor company with facilities around the world. Within the global semiconductor industry, we offer primarily x86 microprocessors for the commercial and consumer markets; embedded microprocessors for commercial, commercial client and consumer markets and chipsets for desktop and notebook PCs, professional workstations and servers We also provide graphics, video and multimedia products for desktop and notebook computers, including home media PCs and professional workstations, servers and technology for game consoles.

We strive to serve the needs of customers through innovative technologies that break new ground, such as accelerated computing. Accelerated computing is a framework that improves how hardware and software interact to support emerging application areas and evolving workloads while providing energy efficiency, great performance and competitively priced computer systems. We believe that accelerated computing embodies a rapidly approaching paradigm shift that will create many opportunities to customise computer systems by providing targeted, precise solutions for different kinds of workloads, whether at work, home or play.

Enterprise customers and small and medium businesses can deploy AMD Opteron processor-based servers and workstations for enhanced power efficiency, optimal virtualisation capability, cloud computing capability and significant savings in total cost of ownership.

AMD provides 3D graphics and video and multimedia products developed for use in desktop and notebook PCs, including home media PCs, professional workstations and servers and customized visual processing technology for the game console market. The primary product is the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The GPU off-loads the burden of graphics processing from the CPU, and uses its highly-parallel architecture to accelerate a broad range of applications. In this way, a dedicated GPU and CPU work in tandem to increase overall speed and performance of the system. The discrete GPUs for desktop and notebook PCs include the ATI Radeon HD series and the ATI Mobility Radeon HD series of products. Our products for the professional workstation market consist of our ATI FirePro and ATI FireStream product families.

Our embedded products range from high-performance AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon processors with direct connect architecture for enterprise-class storage and networking equipment to highly versatile and efficient Mobile AMD Sempron and AMD Turion 64 X2 processors for unique high-performance, small form factor applications.
