AMD

Advanced Micro Devices Inc

A designer of computer chips behind the Ryzen processors in many PCs, the Radeon graphics cards gamers use, and the semi-custom chips powering the PlayStation and Xbox game consoles. The company also makes EPYC server chips and Instinct AI accelerators that run giant cloud data centers. Founded in 1969 by Jerry Sanders and seven former Fairchild Semiconductor colleagues, it got its start making chips designed by other firms, and its flamboyant founder was nicknamed the "rock star of the semiconductor industry."
