A Leading Global Provider of Innovative Microprocessor and Graphics Solutions
Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) is an innovative technology company dedicated to collaborating with customers and partners to ignite the next generation of computing and graphics solutions at work, home and play.
On October 25, 2006, AMD and ATI joined forces in a transaction that combines AMD’s technology leadership in microprocessors with ATI’s strengths in graphics, chipsets and consumer electronics. The result is a processing powerhouse: a new competitor better equipped to drive growth, innovation and choice for its customers in commercial and mobile computing segments and in rapidly-growing consumer electronics segments.
Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California with centers of excellence around the world, the new company has a combined workforce of approximately 16,000 employees. This transaction breaks new ground for both companies and is expected to provide increased customer benefits in four key technology areas: “Commercial Clients,” “Mobile Computing,” “Consumer Digital Media,” and “High-Growth Markets.”
