Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

Who Is AMD?

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a major American semiconductor company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker AMD. Founded in 1969, AMD is now one of the world's leading designers of high-performance computing chips — particularly in the CPU (central processing unit) and GPU (graphics processing unit) segments.

AMD's Core Business Segments

AMD operates across four main segments:

• Data Center — EPYC server processors (up to 5th Gen, "Turin") and Instinct MI300/MI350 GPUs for AI & HPC (High Performance Computing). This is AMD's primary growth engine, posting a record $16.6 billion in revenue for full-year 2025, up 32% year-over-year.
• Client — Ryzen processors for consumer laptops and desktops. Strong end-user demand drove a record $7.1 billion in 2024 client revenue.
• Gaming — Radeon GPUs for gamers and semi-custom chips for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles (Sony, Microsoft). This segment has contracted as the current console cycle matures.
• Embedded — Revenue from the $49 billion Xilinx acquisition (2022) — FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) and adaptive SoCs for industrial, aerospace, automotive, and telecom applications.

Leadership — Dr. Lisa Su

Under the leadership of Dr. Lisa Su (CEO since 2014), AMD has undergone a remarkable transformation from near-bankruptcy to a top-tier global semiconductor competitor. Lisa Su is frequently cited as one of the best technology CEOs in the world for engineering AMD's turnaround.

Market Position

AMD is now the clear number-two competitor in AI GPUs behind NVIDIA, and continues to take significant server market share from Intel with its EPYC chips — with server revenue share reaching nearly 41% by mid-2025, up from just 3% in 2017.

Current stock price: ~$220.27 (NASDAQ: AMD). Market cap: ~$357 billion.
