The Future is Fusion. Infusing AMD with a new brand of energy

There’s a new energy coming from the people of AMD.  It’s the power of Fusion.  It’s how we work with our partners to enable next-generation technologies that change lives.  It’s where customer needs, dreams, and desires bond with our own passion for engineering.  It’s what’s fueled our past, and what will drive our people and partners in the future.  

At the heart of AMD’s fusion brand concept is a unique energy created by connecting AMD people and technology with those of its partners. Fusion is the AMD working philosophy that marries innovation with collaboration, and is the process by which AMD and its partners can enable next-generation technologies that can change the way we live at home, work and play.

An example of the power of Fusion at work:  how energy-efficient

There is a strong shift to foundries occurring – particularly to foundries with the capacity to produce devices using leading-edge process technologies. With The Foundry Company, AMD will be able to unlock the value of its world-class manufacturing capability – by making it available to a growing community of fabless semiconductor companies.
