== Introduction == Advanced Micro Devices Incorporation, commonly abbreviated to AMD, is a semiconductor company focused on offering crucial computer hardware such as central processing units (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU), which AMD are well known for. AMD is a multinational company which started off in America where AMDβs first few products were exclusively memory chips and other minor components used for building computers. Later on AMD expanded into the microprocessor market competing against the likes of Intel, even up to this day. Though they struggled at first, the experienced a monumental boom and are the semiconductor powerhouse that is known today with many common household appliances containing AMD components such as personal computers, laptops, gaming consoles as well as being in a majority of important settings such as servers, supercomputers, automotives and more. Β Initially, AMD produced its own processors all within its own factories for manufacturing but in 2009, AMD went fabless, a process in which they outsource their manufacturing to another company and now sources most of its chips from TSMC. This meant that AMD could repurpose and focus more on its staff on research and development, giving AMD a more competitive advantage in the rapid and developing semiconductor market against the likes of companies such as Intel or Nvidia.
