Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Sunnyvale, CA United States

  (NYSE: AMD)

Company Description

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) made some advances in its battle against Intel but has yet to capitalize on those gains. AMD ranks #2 in PC and server microprocessors, far behind its archrival. Though Intel commands the world processor market, AMD has at times eroded that market share, thanks to the popularity of its Athlon and Opteron processor families, as well as its Fusion and Radeon chips. The company also makes embedded processors and other chips for communications, graphics, storage, networking, and other applications. Hewlett-Packard is its largest customer. AMD gets a majority of its sales from international customers; those in China account for more than half of the company's sales.
