Sejarah singkat prosesor AMD yg saat ini kita kenal sampai sekarang dengan produk unggulannya yaitu Processor ATHLON64 dan PHENOM. Advanced Micro Devices didirikan pada tanggal 1 Mei 1969, oleh sekelompok mantan eksekutif dari Fairchild Semiconductor, termasuk Jerry Sanders III, Ed Turney, John Carey, Sven Simonsen, Jack Gifford dan tiga anggota dari tim Gifford, Frank Botte, Jim Giles, dan Larry Stenger. Perusahaan ini dimulai sebagai produsen chip logika, kemudian memasuki bisnis chip RAM pada tahun 1975.

Pada tahun yang sama, ini memperkenalkan klon reverse-engineered dari mikroprosesor Intel 8080. Selama periode ini, AMD juga dirancang dan diproduksi serangkaian elemen prosesor bit-slice (Am2900, Am29116, Am293xx) yang digunakan dalam desain berbagai komputer mini.
Setelah akhir tahun 1980-an, beberapa pengembang chipset, sperti AMD (Advaced Micro Devices) dan Cyrix mulai menantang Intel, dengan memproduksi sendiri chip prosesor “Intel-competibel”. Chip tersebut mendukung rangkaian instruksi yg ada di prosesor Intel. Harganya lebih murah, dan kadang mempunya kemampuan yg lebih dibandingkan dengan produk Intel.
AMD mulai menggebrak pasaran dengan prosesor buatannya sendiri pada tahun 1996, dengan merilis AMD K5.
Sebelumnya, AMD sudah membuat prosesor seperti AM486 pada masa Intel 386 dan 486, namun masih di bawah lisensi Intel. AMD K5 ini mendapat respon yg baik. Kemudian ada AMD K6 yg dirilis pada tahun 1997, dengan kecepatan 166 dan 200MHz. Prosesor ini memang dirilis untuk diadu dengan kemampuan prosesor Intel. Kelebihan dari prosesor-prosesor AMD adalah kemampuannya untuk di overclock.

Sama dengan AMD, setelah memproduksi prosesor X86 untuk Intel pada masa Intel 286 dan 386, Cyrix memutuskan untuk membuat sendiri dengan merilis Cyrix 486 DX-4 untuk pertama kalinya di awal 90-an. Dilanjutkan pada tahun 1995, Cyrix merilis Cyrix 6X86, prosesor dengan kecepatan tinggi di angkatannya, yg saygnya punya masalah pada kompatibilitas dan panas. Pada tahun 1999 Cyrix dibeli oleh VIA, perusahaan chipset asal Taiwan.
Sampai sekarang perkembangan microprosesor masih terus berlanjut dan Intel tetap merajai dunia microprosesor. Gordon Moore pada tahun 1965 memprediksi jumlah transistor yg ada pada integrated circuit (IC) akan berlipat ganda setiap tahunnya. Pernyataan ini diperbaharui Moore di tahun 1995, dengan penelitian bahwa kelipatan ganda jumlah transistor hanya akan terjadi setiap dua tahun sekali. Hukum Moore sampai sekarang menjadi panduan bagi Intel untuk memacu prosesornya agar semakin andal, terutama peningkatan kecepatan dengan penurunan harga yg sangat signifikan.
AMD mengumumkan merger dengan ATI Technologies pada tanggal 24 Juli 2006. AMD dibayar $ 4300000000 tunai dan 58 juta saham dari saham dengan total sebesar US $ 5,4 miliar. Merger diselesaikan pada tanggal 25 Oktober 2006 dan ATI sekarang merupakan bagian dari AMD.
Pada bulan Oktober 2008, AMD mengumumkan rencana untuk spin off operasi manufaktur dalam bentuk usaha patungan bernilai miliaran dolar dengan Advanced Technology Investment Co, sebuah perusahaan investasi yang dibentuk oleh pemerintah Abu Dhabi. Usaha baru ini disebut GlobalFoundries Inc. Hal ini akan memungkinkan AMD untuk fokus hanya pada desain chip.
Beberapa produk mikroprosesor AMD yaitu:
Turion 64
Duron
Sempron
Kryptonite (K5)
NexGen (K6 / K6 MMX / K6-2 / K6-3)
Athlon (K7)
Opteron (AMD64 / K8)
