  • ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES INC Profile

    Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has made some advances in its battle against Intel. AMD ranks #2 in PC and server microprocessors, far behind its archrival. Though Intel commands about three-quarters of the world processor market, AMD has at times eroded that market share thanks to the popularity of its Athlon and Opteron processor families. The company also makes embedded processors and other chips for communications and networking applications. AMD spun off its flash memory device business into another company, Spansion. Hewlett-Packard is AMD's biggest customer. Chinese OEMs account for about 40% of the company's sales. AMD plans to split its operations, spinning off a manufacturing venture.
