'''AMD''', or Advanced Micro Devices, is a corporation specializing in making computer chips, primarily [[CPU]]s, and [[Graphics Processing Unit|GPU]]s. Based in [[Silicon Valley|Sunnyvale, California]], it long served as the main competitor to Intel, with about 23% market share<ref name="statista">https://www.statista.com/statistics/735904/worldwide-x86-intel-amd-market-share/</ref>.

=Notable inventions=
*AMD pioneered the [[AMD64]] architecture, which allows processors to calculate in 64 bits, vs 32 bits, that Intel has been using.
*AMD was the first to create 8 core processors on a 30 nm die.
*AMD created the first 300 core GPU, the Tegra 4300<ref name="tegra">http://www.amd.com/ati/GPU/faq?</ref>

JBloom: More detailed description of encoding schemes

'''Unicode''' is an [[code|encoding]] [[standard]] used to allow [[computer]]s to represent all of the known [[writing]] systems of the world. Unicode specifies encoding schemes such as UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. The most popular encoding scheme is UTF-8. UTF-8 characters are represented with one to four [[bytes]]. For example, the English letters of the Latin script are encoded with one byte.
