AMD, or Advanced Micro Devices, is a corporation specializing in making computer chips, primarily CPUs, and GPUs. Based in Sunnyvale, California, it long served as the main competitor to Intel, with a market share generally between about 20% and 30% (from 2009 to 2019).[1]
AMD typically focuses on high core counts and improving multi-threaded processing performance. Their competitor, Intel, typically focuses less on these factors and more on clock speed.[2] AMD is also said to generally offer products similar to Intel's for lower prices.[3]
