Advanced Micro Devices is a US-based semiconductor company specialising in high-performance computing and adaptive processing technologies for data centre, embedded, and client markets. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Santa Clara, AMD designs and develops CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs used in enterprise servers, personal computing, gaming systems, industrial equipment, communications infrastructure, and edge devices. Its product portfolio includes EPYC server processors for cloud and hyperscale computing, Ryzen processors for desktop and mobile platforms, and Radeon graphics solutions for professional and consumer workloads. AMD also develops Instinct accelerators that support large-scale training and inference, forming a core part of the company’s growing presence in AI and high-performance computing.

Following the acquisition of Xilinx in 2022, AMD expanded into adaptive computing through its Versal and Zynq platforms, enabling hardware acceleration, deterministic control, and real-time processing in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, communications, and medical systems. The company also broadened its data centre networking capabilities with the integration of Pensando technologies, supporting distributed services and software-defined infrastructure. AMD works with major cloud providers, OEMs, and industrial partners to optimise performance, energy efficiency, and workload scalability across a wide range of deployment environments.

Research and development remains a central focus, with ongoing investment into advanced process technologies, chiplet architectures, and software enablement spanning AI frameworks, compilers, and developer tools. AMD collaborates closely with the open-source community and industry standards bodies to ensure broad ecosystem compatibility and long-term platform support. With a strategic roadmap centred on compute density, efficiency, and adaptive acceleration, AMD continues to play a key role in enabling next-generation applications across data centres, edge computing, scientific research, and intelligent systems.
