Advanced Micro Devices has been a revolutionary presence in the semiconductor industry since it was incorporated May 1, 1969. Founded by a group of former Fairchild Semiconductor employees, Jerry Sanders provided the genius, charisma, and vision needed to thrust AMD into a position of global leadership with nearly 13,000 employees worldwide and sales of $2.5 billion. AMD is a leading provider of microprocessors and related technologies, flash memories, programmable logic devices, and circuits for telecommunications and networking applications.
