History

Founding and Early Development

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) was founded on May 1, 1969, in Sunnyvale, California, by Jerry Sanders and seven former engineers from Fairchild Semiconductor: John Carey, Ed Turney, Sven Simonsen, Jack Gifford, Larry Stenger, Jim Giles, and Frank Botte.^[6] The company was incorporated in Delaware and began operations as a second-source manufacturer of bipolar integrated circuits, aiming to provide reliable alternative supplies for established semiconductor designs. Initial financing efforts culminated in raising approximately $1.5 million by July 22, 1969, enabling the startup to establish its first facilities and begin product development.^[6] AMD's early product lineup focused on bipolar logic integrated circuits (ICs), with the first shipment occurring in March 1970, including devices like the Am9300 4-bit MSI shift register and the Am2505 high-speed shift register, which became a bestseller in 1971.^[7] The company expanded into MOS technology in 1971 with the opening of Fab II and introduced memory chips, such as the AM9102 1K static RAM in 1975 as a second-source for Intel's 5101.^[8] In 1975, AMD entered the microprocessor market by reverse-engineering and producing the Am9080, a clone of Intel's 8080 processor, which it manufactured without initial authorization but sold profitably at a markup.^[9] A pivotal milestone came in 1976 when AMD signed a patent cross-licensing agreement with Intel, formalizing its role as a licensed second-source for the 8080 and future designs while granting mutual access to intellectual property.^[10] This deal supported AMD's rapid expansion, with the company growing to over 1,000 employees by 1977 and achieving $120 million in sales by 1979.^[6] Under Jerry Sanders' leadership as CEO, AMD adopted a philosophy prioritizing employee welfare, encapsulated in his motto "people first, products and profits will follow," which included profit-sharing programs and a commitment to avoiding layoffs during downturns to foster loyalty.^[11] Facing intense competition from Japanese manufacturers in the DRAM market during the 1970s, AMD transitioned its focus from commodity memory products—where it struggled with lower-margin 16K DRAMs—to higher-value bipolar logic ICs and microprocessors by the late 1970s and early 1980s.^[6] This strategic shift emphasized proprietary designs like the 2900 family of bipolar microprocessor slices, reducing reliance on second-sourcing and positioning the company for growth in logic-based semiconductors.^[6]

x86 Competition and Growth

In 1976, AMD and Intel entered into a patent cross-licensing agreement that allowed AMD to produce compatible versions of Intel's processors, laying the groundwork for AMD's entry into the x86 market.^[12] This agreement enabled AMD to develop the Am8086 and Am8088, second-source clones of Intel's 8086 and 8088, which became crucial for IBM PC compatibility when IBM selected the 8088 for its original PC in 1981 and required multiple suppliers to avoid dependency on a single vendor.^[13] AMD's Am8086/Am8088 chips, introduced in 1982, helped establish AMD as a reliable alternative supplier in the burgeoning personal computer ecosystem. By the late 1980s, AMD sought greater independence from Intel's designs amid escalating competition. The Am386, released in March 1991, marked AMD's first fully independent 32-bit x86 microprocessor, reverse-engineered to be 100% compatible with Intel's 80386 while offering higher clock speeds up to 40 MHz—surpassing Intel's then-maximum of 33 MHz. This breakthrough positioned AMD as a legitimate competitor, selling millions of units and capturing early market traction in cost-sensitive systems.^[14] Following suit, the Am486 family debuted in April 1993 as AMD's clone of Intel's 80486, incorporating enhancements like internal cache and pipelining for improved performance in 32-bit applications. The mid-1990s saw AMD transition to in-house designs to reduce reliance on cloning. The K5, launched in March 1996, was AMD's first entirely proprietary x86 processor, featuring a superscalar architecture with RISC-like internal execution to rival Intel's Pentium, though initial yields and performance tuning presented challenges. To accelerate progress, AMD acquired NexGen Microsystems in 1995 for $850 million, integrating its Nx686 design into the K6 microprocessor, which debuted in April 1997 with support for MMX instructions and competitive pricing that appealed to value-oriented PC builders.^[15] Entering the 2000s, AMD innovated beyond 32-bit constraints with the Athlon processor line, introduced on June 23, 1999, which employed a slot-based design and EV6 bus for superior bandwidth over Intel's Slot 1, achieving clock speeds up to 1 GHz by 2000. AMD's strategic push into 64-bit computing culminated in the AMD64 instruction set extension, first implemented in the Opteron server processor launched on April 22, 2003, enabling seamless 32/64-bit operation and backward compatibility with x86 software.^[16] This was followed by the Athlon 64 desktop processor on September 23, 2003, which brought 64-bit capabilities to consumer markets via integrated memory controllers for lower latency.^[17] These launches propelled AMD's x86 market share to peaks of 20-25% in desktop and overall segments during 2003-2006, driven by performance advantages in multi-threaded workloads and aggressive pricing.^[18] Throughout this period, AMD's growth was shadowed by intense legal battles with Intel over licensing rights. Disputes began in the 1980s, escalating in 1990 when Intel sued AMD for copyright infringement related to microcode in AMD's 80387 coprocessor clone, leading to a 1992 arbitration award of over $10 million to AMD plus royalty-free access to certain Intel patents for its 386-compatible products.^[19] Further lawsuits in the 1990s centered on Intel's attempts to restrict AMD's use of x86 intellectual property under the original cross-license, culminating in a 2009 settlement where Intel paid AMD $1.25 billion to resolve all antitrust and patent claims, allowing both to focus on innovation without ongoing litigation.^[20]

Acquisitions and Challenges

In 2006, AMD acquired ATI Technologies, a leading graphics chip designer, for approximately $5.4 billion in a cash-and-stock deal, marking the company's entry into the discrete graphics market and laying the foundation for its Radeon GPU lineup.^[21] This merger integrated ATI's expertise in visual computing, enabling AMD to offer combined CPU-GPU solutions and compete more directly with Intel in integrated platforms.^[22] The acquisition strained AMD's finances amid intensifying competition and the global economic downturn, leading to severe challenges in 2008 and 2009. The company implemented multiple rounds of layoffs, reducing its workforce by about 31% overall—starting with 10% (around 1,600 employees) in early 2008, followed by an additional 500 in November 2008 and 600 more in December 2008—to cut costs amid slumping sales.^[23]^[24]^[25] By 2009, AMD teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, burdened by debt from the ATI purchase and manufacturing investments, with cash reserves critically low and ongoing losses threatening its survival.^[26] To address this, AMD spun off its chip fabrication operations into GlobalFoundries in March 2009, a move backed by Abu Dhabi-based Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC), which relieved over $1 billion in debt and provided an $825 million cash infusion while allowing AMD to focus on design as a fabless entity.^[27]^[28] Amid these difficulties, AMD pursued strategic restructurings to stabilize operations. In January 2012, Dr. Lisa Su joined as senior vice president and general manager of global business units, rising to chief operating officer in 2014 before being appointed president and CEO in October 2014, where she shifted focus toward high-margin opportunities like semi-custom designs.^[29] A pivotal recovery effort involved securing contracts for semi-custom system-on-chips (SoCs) based on the Jaguar microarchitecture for Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4, both launched in late 2013; these deals generated essential revenue, contributing to AMD's return to profitability in the third quarter of 2013 and averting further collapse.^[30]^[31] AMD also bolstered its server portfolio through targeted acquisitions during this period. In 2012, it purchased SeaMicro for about $334 million, gaining innovative low-power microserver technology to enhance energy-efficient data center solutions integrated with Opteron processors.^[32] Building on recovery momentum into the late 2010s, AMD announced its largest deal yet in October 2020: the $49 billion all-stock acquisition of Xilinx, completed in February 2022, which expanded capabilities in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and adaptive computing to support emerging high-performance workloads.^[33]

This segment generated $2.6 billion for the year, down 58% year-over-year primarily from reduced semi-custom sales following peak console launches. Looking ahead, rumors indicate next-generation console chips in development for 2027 launches, incorporating AI enhancements such as neural processing units for advanced rendering techniques in partnership with Microsoft and Sony.^[94]^[95]^[96]

Technologies

CPU Microarchitectures

AMD's CPU microarchitectures have evolved significantly since the early 2000s, transitioning from monolithic designs to modular chiplet-based approaches that prioritize scalability and performance efficiency. The K8 microarchitecture, introduced in 2003 with the Athlon 64 processor, marked a pivotal shift by integrating a 64-bit x86 instruction set and an on-die memory controller directly onto the CPU die.^[97] This integration reduced memory latency and increased bandwidth compared to prior front-side bus designs, enabling better overall system responsiveness in desktop and server applications.^[98] Following K8, the Bulldozer microarchitecture debuted in 2011, emphasizing high core counts through a novel module-based design where pairs of integer execution units shared floating-point and other resources, resembling early chiplet concepts.^[99] While this allowed for up to eight modules (16 integer units) in consumer processors like the FX series, it suffered from efficiency drawbacks, including higher power consumption and lower per-core performance in single-threaded workloads due to shared resources and increased latencies in the cache hierarchy.^[100] These issues stemmed from compromises in the execution engine and branch prediction, limiting its competitiveness against contemporary Intel architectures. The Zen family, launched in 2017, represented a comprehensive redesign focused on instructions per clock (IPC) uplift, multi-threading, and modular scalability. Zen 1, fabricated on a 14 nm process, introduced simultaneous multithreading (SMT) to handle two threads per core, alongside a wider front-end for improved instruction fetch and decode throughput.^[101] This architecture delivered substantial IPC gains over Bulldozer, with enhancements in branch prediction accuracy and a deeper out-of-order execution window. Subsequent iterations built on this foundation: Zen 2 in 2019 adopted a 7 nm process and chiplet design, enabling up to 64 cores in the EPYC Rome server processors by combining multiple 7 nm compute dies with a 14 nm I/O die. Zen 3, released in 2020, refined the chiplet layout with a unified core complex die (CCD) featuring eight cores sharing a single 32 MB L3 cache, reducing inter-core latency for better gaming and productivity performance.^[102] Zen 4, introduced in 2022 on a 5 nm process, added support for the AVX-512 instruction set extension, implemented via double-pumped 256-bit vector units to balance performance and clock speeds in AI and high-performance computing workloads.^[103] Zen 5, launched in 2024, further optimized for AI applications with enhancements in branch prediction, op-cache density, and reduced power state transitions, alongside wider execution pipelines for higher throughput in machine learning tasks. Central to the Zen era's scalability is Infinity Fabric, debuted in 2017 as a high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect that links chiplets within a processor package and extends to multi-socket configurations.^[104] This flexible fabric supports data rates up to 36 GB/s per link, enabling efficient scaling from desktop to 128-core server designs without traditional multi-chip module bottlenecks. Complementing this, 3D V-Cache technology, introduced in 2022, stacks additional L3 cache dies vertically on compute chiplets using hybrid bonding, increasing total L3 capacity to up to 96 MB per CCD and delivering average gaming performance uplifts of 15% at 1080p resolution.^[105] Across the Zen generations, IPC improvements have driven core competitiveness, with Zen 4 achieving a 13% uplift over Zen 3 through wider pipelines, better vector execution, and refined caching.^[106] Power efficiency has also advanced progressively, with Zen 2 and later nodes yielding up to 2x performance per watt in server workloads via process shrinks and dynamic voltage scaling, while Zen 5's optimizations further reduce latency in AI inference by minimizing wasted cycles.^[101]

GPU Architectures

AMD's GPU architectures originated with the acquisition of ATI Technologies in 2006, building on ATI's earlier designs. The ATI era introduced the Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architecture in the R500 series, launched in 2005 with the Radeon X1000 lineup, which emphasized pixel shaders through parallel VLIW processing units to handle complex graphics rendering efficiently.^[107] This approach allowed for bundled instructions executed in parallel, marking a shift toward more programmable graphics pipelines. Following the acquisition, AMD evolved this into the TeraScale architecture from 2006 to 2011, which unified shaders for both vertex and pixel processing, replacing separate fixed-function units with a VLIW-based SIMD design that supported DirectX 10 and early general-purpose computing.^[108] TeraScale implementations, seen in the Radeon HD 2000 to HD 6000 series, improved flexibility by allowing shaders to handle diverse workloads, though its VLIW structure limited scalar efficiency in some scenarios.^[63] In 2011, AMD introduced Graphics Core Next (GCN), a compute-oriented architecture that ran from 2011 to 2017 and fundamentally redesigned GPU execution around SIMD compute units processing wavefronts of 64 threads, enabling better support for parallel compute tasks beyond graphics.^[109] GCN's RISC-like instruction set, coherent caching, and virtual memory addressing made it suitable for heterogeneous computing, powering the Radeon HD 7000 to RX 500 series. This era culminated in the Vega architecture in 2017, which retained GCN's core but integrated High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for handling large datasets with up to 512 GB/s bandwidth, enhancing performance in memory-intensive applications like 4K rendering and machine learning.^[110] Vega's rapid-packed math capabilities further optimized FP16 operations for AI workloads.^[111] The modern era began with RDNA in 2019, shifting to a scalar processing model for improved instruction-level parallelism and efficiency in gaming and compute tasks, as seen in RDNA 1 (Radeon RX 5000 series), RDNA 2 (2020, RX 6000 series with hardware ray tracing), and RDNA 3 (2022, RX 7000 series featuring mesh shaders for advanced geometry processing).^[108]^[112] These architectures prioritize single-instruction efficiency over VLIW bundling, with dual-issue scalar units doubling throughput for control-heavy code. RDNA also introduced innovations like Infinity Cache in 2020, a large last-level cache (up to 128 MB in high-end models) that reduces memory bandwidth demands by 50% or more in bandwidth-limited scenarios, enabling higher frame rates at 1440p and 4K resolutions.^[113] FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), launched as an open-source upscaling technology in 2021, further enhances performance by generating high-resolution images from lower-resolution inputs using spatial and temporal algorithms, compatible across AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel hardware.^[114] RDNA 4, released in 2025 with the Radeon RX 9000 series, builds on this foundation with enhanced ray tracing cores that deliver up to 2x the ray-triangle intersection performance of RDNA 3, alongside improved AI acceleration for features like frame generation.^[47] Parallel to the gaming-focused RDNA line, AMD developed the CDNA architecture for data center and AI applications in its Instinct accelerators. CDNA 1 (2019) extended GCN for compute, but CDNA 2 (2021, MI200 series) introduced dedicated matrix cores for tensor operations, boosting AI training throughput. CDNA 3 (2023, MI300 series) advanced this with second-generation matrix cores that triple FP16 and BF16 performance compared to CDNA 2, achieving up to 5 petaFLOPS in FP16 while supporting sparse matrix formats for efficient large language model inference.^[115] CDNA 4, released in June 2025 with the Instinct MI350 series, employs a chiplet-based heterogeneous design for enhanced scalability in AI and high-performance computing, featuring advanced packaging and optimized compute units for up to 4x generational improvements in inference performance.^[116] These evolutions underscore AMD's focus on specialized pipelines for graphics rendering, ray tracing, and AI acceleration, with RDNA and CDNA diverging to optimize for consumer and professional workloads respectively.

For CPU management, Ryzen Master is a comprehensive overclocking utility introduced in 2017, enabling users to monitor system performance, adjust clock speeds, and apply personalized tweaks while ensuring stability through real-time telemetry.^[117] This tool integrates features like Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), a technology that extends automatic boost algorithms by relaxing power, thermal, and current limits, allowing compatible Ryzen processors to achieve higher sustained clocks in multi-threaded workloads.^[118] PBO, accessible via Ryzen Master or BIOS settings, dynamically scales performance based on cooling and workload demands, enhancing efficiency without manual intervention.^[117] On the GPU side, AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition serves as the primary driver suite for Radeon graphics, delivering gaming optimizations through features like customizable profiles, in-game overlays for metrics, and automatic updates.^[119] It integrates AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), an open-source upscaling technology that boosts frame rates by rendering at lower resolutions and reconstructing images, supporting a wide range of titles for improved visual fidelity and performance.^[120] For high-performance computing (HPC) and AI applications, the ROCm platform, launched in 2016 as an open-source software stack, facilitates GPU-accelerated development with libraries, runtimes, and APIs tailored for Instinct accelerators.^[121] ROCm supports major frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, enabling seamless training and inference on AMD hardware through optimized kernels and mixed-precision computing.^[122] In the adaptive and FPGA domain, Vitis represents a unified software platform originally developed by Xilinx and enhanced post-AMD's 2022 acquisition, providing tools for programming Versal adaptive SoCs since its 2020 release.^[123]^[124] Vitis enables high-level synthesis from C/C++ code to hardware accelerators, along with debugging and simulation capabilities, fostering a cohesive ecosystem for embedded AI and edge computing applications across AMD's portfolio.^[125] This integration streamlines development by combining CPU, GPU, and FPGA workflows under a single environment. AMD's broader ecosystems emphasize developer accessibility, particularly in AI. In 2025, a strategic partnership with OpenAI introduced specialized tools and optimizations for deploying Instinct MI450 series GPUs, supporting large-scale AI inference and training through ROCm enhancements and custom integrations.^[126] At CES 2025, AMD announced expanded developer resources for AI PCs, including SDKs and APIs within the Ryzen AI ecosystem to accelerate on-device machine learning applications on processors like the Ryzen AI Max series.^[127] These initiatives promote open-source collaboration, with resources hosted on the AMD Infinity Hub for porting and optimizing AI models.^[121]

Manufacturing and Supply Chain

Fabrication Partnerships

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) transitioned to a fully fabless semiconductor manufacturing model in 2009 following the spin-off of its fabrication operations into GlobalFoundries, an independent contract manufacturer funded by Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Investment Company.^[128] This strategic divestiture allowed AMD to focus on design and innovation while outsourcing production to specialized foundries, reducing capital expenditures on manufacturing facilities.^[129] Since the spin-off, AMD has maintained long-term wafer supply agreements with GlobalFoundries for legacy processes, but has increasingly shifted volume production to leading-edge nodes from other partners to support its high-performance computing roadmap.^[130] Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has emerged as AMD's primary foundry partner, enabling key advancements in process technology. AMD's Zen 2 microarchitecture, introduced in 2019 with products like Ryzen 3000 and EPYC Rome processors, marked the company's debut on TSMC's 7 nm node, delivering approximately twice the transistor density compared to the prior 14 nm process used for first-generation Zen.^[131]^[132] This progression continued with the adoption of TSMC's 5 nm node for Zen 4-based EPYC Genoa processors in 2022, enhancing performance and efficiency for data center workloads.^[133] AMD has reserved capacity on TSMC's 3 nm node for future products planned around 2026, further tightening this partnership.^[134] Earlier, Samsung Foundry supported AMD's initial Zen rollout on its 14 nm FinFET process for select CPU and GPU designs, while GlobalFoundries continues to handle 28 nm production for legacy embedded systems.^[135]^[130] AMD's chiplet-based architecture, a cornerstone of its product strategy since Zen 2, facilitates flexible manufacturing by allowing components to be produced on different process nodes before integration. For instance, core complex dies (CCDs) can be fabricated on advanced nodes like 5 nm for optimal performance, while input/output (I/O) dies utilize more mature 6 nm processes to balance cost and functionality.^[136] This mix-and-match approach has been applied across EPYC and Ryzen series, enabling scalable designs without monolithic die constraints. By late 2025, AMD's Ryzen 9000 series desktop processors leverage TSMC's N4P (enhanced 4 nm) node for improved power efficiency over prior 5 nm generations.^[137] Preparations are underway for the Instinct MI400 AI accelerator, targeted for production on TSMC's advanced nodes ahead of a 2026 launch.^[138] Geopolitical tensions, particularly U.S. export controls on advanced semiconductors to China, have introduced supply chain vulnerabilities for AMD in 2025, potentially impacting revenue from AI chip sales and increasing reliance on diversified manufacturing locations like TSMC's U.S. facilities. To mitigate these risks, AMD has begun utilizing TSMC's Fab 21 in Arizona for production of Ryzen 9000 series processors as of early 2025.^[139]^[140] These risks underscore the challenges of a concentrated foundry ecosystem amid global trade disruptions.^[141]

Production Processes and Facilities

AMD's production processes begin after wafer fabrication at partner foundries, where initial sort testing occurs to identify functional dies before they are shipped for assembly and packaging.^[104] These dies undergo advanced packaging techniques, such as chiplet stacking, which integrates multiple smaller dies into a single module using interposers or organic substrates to enhance performance and efficiency, as seen in the EPYC processor family where core chiplets are combined with I/O dies.^[104] Following packaging, final testing evaluates electrical characteristics, thermal performance, and reliability to ensure compliance with specifications. A key step in the process is binning, where tested chips are categorized based on their maximum clock speeds, power consumption, and yield quality to assign them to specific product tiers, optimizing manufacturing efficiency and product differentiation.^[142] This occurs at dedicated test facilities, enabling AMD to allocate higher-performing units to premium models like high-end Ryzen or EPYC variants while repurposing others for mid-range offerings. AMD's primary assembly and test operations are centered in Penang, Malaysia, through its joint venture TF-AMD Microelectronics, which specializes in high-volume assembly, testing, marking, and packing for CPUs and GPUs.^[143] The Penang site serves as a critical hub for post-wafer processing, handling the integration of chiplets and final qualification for global shipment. Additionally, AMD maintains assembly and test capabilities in Nantong, China, as part of a longstanding joint venture established to leverage regional expertise in semiconductor packaging.^[144] In 2023, TF-AMD completed a major expansion of its Penang facility, adding 1.5 million square feet of space to boost capacity for advanced products, including those supporting AI workloads.^[145] This upgrade enhances output for high-performance computing components amid growing demand. Looking ahead, AMD is ramping investments in 2025 to support the production scale-up of its Instinct MI400 series accelerators, focusing on expanded testing and assembly throughput to meet AI infrastructure needs.^[146] Sustainability efforts in these processes include commitments to renewable energy sourcing, with AMD targeting increased use across operations and suppliers by 2025 through a combination of direct procurement and offsets as outlined in its climate transition plan.^[147] The company has also implemented measures to reduce water consumption in packaging operations, aligning with broader environmental goals to minimize resource intensity in assembly and test activities.^[148]

Corporate Affairs

Legal Disputes and Resolutions

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has been involved in several significant legal disputes, primarily centered on intellectual property rights and antitrust issues with Intel Corporation. The roots of this rivalry trace back to the 1980s, when tensions arose over x86 architecture licensing. In 1982, AMD and Intel entered a cross-licensing agreement that permitted AMD to develop compatible processors, but Intel sought to limit these rights in 1987 by terminating portions of the deal, sparking lawsuits over AMD's ability to clone Intel's designs like the 80386 microprocessor. These battles escalated in 1991 when AMD filed an antitrust suit against Intel, alleging unfair restrictions on competition, with courts ultimately awarding AMD royalties and broader patent access in 1992.^[169]^[10]^[170]^[19] Antitrust scrutiny intensified in the mid-2000s amid complaints from AMD about Intel's market dominance. The European Commission launched an investigation in 2005 into Intel's practices, such as exclusive rebates to manufacturers that excluded AMD products, culminating in a €1.06 billion fine against Intel in May 2009 for violating EU competition rules. In the United States, AMD initiated a private antitrust lawsuit against Intel in June 2005, claiming the company used coercive tactics to maintain over 80% market share in x86 CPUs. Paralleling this, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed its own suit against Intel in December 2009, which was settled in August 2010 with Intel agreeing to halt anticompetitive exclusions and platform control measures that disadvantaged rivals like AMD.^[171]^[172]^[173] The disputes reached a pivotal resolution on November 12, 2009, when AMD and Intel announced a comprehensive settlement ending all antitrust, patent, and licensing conflicts. Intel agreed to pay AMD $1.25 billion in cash, and the companies established a new five-year patent cross-license agreement, extending mutual access to x86 and related technologies through 2014. This deal prohibited further lawsuits between them on these matters, fostering a period of relative stability in their competition. No major legal actions have arisen between AMD and Intel since the settlement.^[174]^[20]^[175] Beyond Intel, AMD faced patent challenges with other firms in the 2010s and 2020s. In the 2010s, AMD resolved intellectual property disputes with Nvidia through cross-licensing arrangements covering graphics processing technologies, avoiding prolonged litigation. Regarding ARM architecture, used in AMD's adaptive computing chips via its Xilinx subsidiary, licensing negotiations in the 2020s proceeded without significant disputes, enabling integration of ARM cores into products like the Versal adaptive SoCs. As of late 2025, no major ongoing legal cases have emerged for AMD in these areas.^[176] These resolutions had lasting impacts, granting AMD greater autonomy in x86 development and reinforcing global antitrust policies on fair competition in semiconductors. The 2009 settlement, in particular, removed contractual barriers that had previously constrained AMD's innovation, while the regulatory fines and agreements set precedents for addressing dominant firm abuses in high-tech markets.^[177]^[173]
