Founded in 1969 by Jerry Sanders and seven Fairchild Semiconductor colleagues, AMD has grown into a Santa Clara-based powerhouse in x86 CPUs (Ryzen and EPYC), Radeon GPUs, Instinct AI accelerators, and Xilinx FPGAs following the $49B 2022 acquisition. CEO Lisa Su, at the helm since 2014, engineered the turnaround that closed the gap with Intel and challenged Nvidia in AI silicon. Q3 2025 revenue hit $9.2B (up 36% YoY), with the MI350 Series ramping faster than any prior product and OpenAI committing to 6GW of Instinct GPU deployment.
