Which company, founded in 1969, makes Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics cards?

Advanced Micro Devices, founded in 1969, makes Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics cards.

AMD began as a semiconductor company in Sunnyvale, California, and initially produced logic chips and memory products. It later became a major competitor to Intel in the x86 microprocessor market, especially after introducing the Athlon and Opteron processor families.

Ryzen is AMD’s consumer and professional CPU brand, while Radeon covers graphics-processing products for personal computers, workstations, and gaming. These product families helped AMD expand beyond its earlier reputation as a lower-cost alternative in desktop processors.

AMD is sometimes confused with ATI Technologies, the former Canadian graphics company that AMD acquired in 2006. The acquisition brought ATI’s Radeon brand into AMD’s portfolio. AMD also develops data-center chips, embedded processors, and adaptive computing products, so its business is broader than consumer PC hardware alone.
