Innovation
Since the beginning, our focus has gone beyond
integrated circuits and transistors. AMD is the informed
choice for those who want superior microprocessor and
graphics solutions designed from the perspective of the
customer. After all, our customers' success is our
success. That’s why AMD products are always developed
with customer needs in mind and not for the sake of
technology alone. We provide real solutions for real
customer problems that exist in the real world today.
It’s a philosophy we refer to as “customer-centric
innovation,” and it represents the guiding principle
behind everything we do.
Vision
We
never rest on our laurels. Our passion for what we do
compels us to keep looking for the next opportunity to
succeed. With corporate locations in Sunnyvale,
California; Austin, Texas; and Markham, Ontario; and
global operations and manufacturing facilities in the
U.S., Europe and Asia, we’re one of the world’s leading
integrated circuit manufacturers. We’re also among the
market leaders in each of our core businesses:
microprocessors and graphics and media solutions for the
computer, communications, and consumer electronics
industries.
Execution
Because our customers’ needs are ever-changing, AMD
understands the value of looking towards—and keeping
pace with—the future. To help ensure we meet our
