Who was the founder of AMD? How did he start it?

Jerry Sanders – The founder of AMD was 18 years old when he was fighting for a friend, but he was left behind by his friend and left alone to endure the devastation, and was rescued by a neighbor, but fortunately survived. Conclusions: 1. You can never rely on people who don't understand; 2. There is no fairness in life, but I will strive for fairness.

At the age of 21, he graduated from the University of Illinois and was an alumnus of my boss, and when he returned home, he was waiting for a bill from his grandfather, and 21 years of suffering made him the motivation to struggle for his life. On June 20, 1969, he had to scrape together $1.5 million before 5 p.m. to start AMD, and by 4:55 he was still $20,000 short, Jerry was discouraged, but in the last five minutes, he received a package with 10,000 dollars, and AMD was founded.

Over the past 30 years, AMD has been defeated and defeated, and it has been glorious despite defeat. Jerry is like a lone wolf, never surrendering, never giving up. Without his persistence, our computer CPUs would be twice as expensive today.

AMD (the English abbreviation of Advanced Micro Devices, Chaowei Semiconductor Note: Advanced is advanced, Micro means tiny English literally translated as Advanced Micro Semiconductor, but AMD company named itself in Chinese Chaowei Semiconductor So it can also be called Supermicro Semiconductor The official term is used here) was founded in 1969 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. AMD specializes in the design and manufacture of innovative microprocessor, flash and low-power processor solutions for the computer, communications and consumer electronics industries.

AMD is committed to providing standards-based, customer-centric solutions for technology users, from enterprises and institutions to individual consumers. Its share of the CPU market is second only to Intel.

AMD has more than 10,000 employees with manufacturing facilities in the United States, China, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, as well as sales offices in major cities around the world. In 2004, AMD's sales were $5 billion.

With more than 70% of its revenue coming from international markets, AMD is truly a global company. The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol AMD. At AMD, the customer-centric philosophy of driving innovation is at the core of all of AMD's operations.

AMD has built successful relationships with customers to gain a deeper understanding of their needs; AMD works closely with technology leaders to develop next-generation solutions, expand global markets and promote AMD's brand; We've also partnered with some of the world's leaders who have overcome tough odds and relied on technology to succeed.

To date, more than 2,000 hardware and software developers, OEMs, and distributors worldwide have announced support for AMD 64-bit technology. More than 75 percent of the top 100 companies on the Forbes Global 2000 are running enterprise applications with AMD Opteron 6 4 processor-based systems that see significant performance improvements. Too much, specific.

Tao Xingzhi is finished, I hope it will be helpful to your question, if you are satisfied with o( o...Ha ha.

This allusion may come from the card bar for two main reasons:

The correct full name of AMD is Advanced Micro Devices, and Agriculture Machine Devices is also this abbreviation, and Agriculture Machine Devices means Agricultural Machinery and Equipment.

AMD's CPU,Since K10, it has gradually opened up the gap with Intel,And this gap is getting bigger and bigger,There is a trend of being completely at a disadvantage,Especially in the field of high-end CPU,There is no Intel's kind of "tall"Feeling at all,So there is this way of calling AMD an agricultural enterprise。

Rural people are upright, oh damn.

Engaged in chip R&D and production started late, and the level of high-end products and processes has always been inferior to Intel. Although it is far less popular in advertising and popularity than Intel, the product is more cost-effective, so it is nicknamed an agricultural enterprise.

Rumors about why AMD is called an agribusiness:

1. At the beginning of the conflict between the HD6970 radiator and the external power supply, AMD adopted the practice of manually polishing off the corner of the external power supply, so at that time, each HD6970 was unique, which was quite a farm style, so AMD called it an agricultural enterprise.

2. AMD Duron series CPUs can be unlocked by external violent machining (you can process it with the tools at hand), which is quite the style of agricultural tool production, so it is called "agricultural enterprise".

3. It is said that amd = agricultural micro devices, translated as agricultural micro equipment, so it is called agricultural enterprises; It is also said that AMD ADM is one of the world's largest oilseed, corn and wheat processors; Some people also say that bulldozer + pile driver + road roller, and finally can be synthesized into King Kong Hercules.

4. AMD started not much later than Intel, and the early teams of the two companies all came out of Fairchild Semiconductor. Although AMD is far less popular in advertising and popularity than Intel, its products are more cost-effective, so it is nicknamed an agricultural enterprise.

The origin of "agricultural enterprise" is much earlier than the microarchitecture of "XX machine", which can be traced back to the end of ATI and the beginning of the new AMD.

Here's a popular saying.

When ATI was first acquired by AMD, the news had not yet been released, and a certain ** was smart, and I don't know from the grapevine that ** found, saying that "ATI company may be acquired by an agricultural enterprise in China", and the rumors became bigger and bigger, and finally confirmed that this company was AMD, and later everyone called AMD an agricultural enterprise, just a coincidence.

Later, because AMD came out with a hand-polished door (the design defects of the heat dissipation shell of the graphics card were shipped by hand all lines, just like a rural handicraft workshop), and the bulldozer series processor that was launched later (note: English means bulldozer), so the name of agricultural enterprise is more and more appropriate.

At the beginning of the conflict between the HD6970 radiator and the external power supply, AMD adopted the practice of manually polishing off the corner of the external power supply, so each HD6970 was unique at that time, which was quite a farmhouse style, so the name of the agricultural enterprise was very prosperous.

It has suddenly shifted from a technology-intensive enterprise to a labor-intensive enterprise

Another thing is that the Duron series CPUs can be unlocked by external brute force machining (which you can do with the tools you have at hand).

In the past two days, I have seen some other explanations on PC, which seem to be quite reasonable, and continue to write them for everyone's enjoyment.

It is said that amd = agricultural micro devices, translated as agricultural micro equipment, so it is called agricultural enterprises;

It is also said that AMD ADM is one of the world's largest oilseed, corn and wheat processors;

Some people also say that bulldozer + pile driver + road roller, and finally can be synthesized into King Kong Hercules.

It should also be said that AMD started not much later than Intel. The early teams of both companies all came out of Fairchild Semiconductor.

The pursuit of cost performance, the price of cabbage products, and the performance is slightly poor.

When AMD acquired ATI, the news had not yet been released, and a certain ** was smart, and I didn't know that ** found a small gossip and released it, saying that "ATI company may be acquired by a Chinese agricultural enterprise", and the rumors became bigger and bigger, and finally confirmed that this company was AMD, not some agricultural company, but because this joke was well known, everyone ridiculed AMD as an agricultural enterprise.

The name of agricultural enterprise is not ridiculed by anyone, but has an origin.

When ATI was acquired by AMD, the news had not yet been released, and a certain ** was smart, and I didn't know from ** found a small gossip to release it, saying that "ATI company may be acquired by a Chinese agricultural enterprise", and the rumors became bigger and bigger, and finally confirmed that this company was AMD, not some agricultural company, but because this joke was too big, everyone generally called AMD an agricultural enterprise to show that they knew that history, just a coincidence.

Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand,AMD began to make APUs after K10,The code names are bulldozers、Piling driver、Road roller、Excavator,But the performance is not very good,There is no way to take the Core series,That's how this stalk came about,Because the processor product has been lagging behind the products of the same generation Intel in previous years,So it was hacked by consumers:Agricultural machine devices

Translated as: agricultural machinery and equipment.

Recently, the Ryzen2 series 3 5 7 is the product that can be taken out.

The latest AMDCPU can already kill toothpaste factories in seconds.

Do CPU, motherboard chips, graphics card chips.

The American AMD Semiconductor Company is oneSpecializes in the design and manufacture of a wide range of innovative microprocessors for the computer, communications, and consumer electronics industries(CPUs, GPUs, motherboard chipsets, TV card chips, etc.), andFlash and low-power processor solutions are availableThe company was founded in 1969.

On July 24, 2006, AMD announced the acquisition of ATI, which became AMD's graphics division.

AMD has proposed a new logo for the 3A platform, and the "AMD Vision" logo in the notebook field indicates that the computer is built with a 3A solution (CPU, GPU, and motherboard chipset are all manufactured and provided by AMD). In December 2018, the World Brand Lab released the list of "2018 Top 500 World Brands", and AMD ranked 485th.

Intel or AMD?Which one is great?
