Mark Papermaster is the Chief Technology Officer at Advanced Micro Devices.
 He had been the Senior Vice President of Devices Hardware Engineering at Apple Inc.
 He replaced Tony Fadell who was responsible for the team that created the iPod.
 Papermaster worked at IBM from 1982 to 2008.
 His last position at IBM was as vice president of IBM's blade server division.
 In 2008, Papermaster's decision to move from IBM to Apple became central to a court case considering the validity and scope of an employee non-compete clause in the technology industry.
 In August 2010 he stepped down from his position because of issues with Apple's internal politics and corporate culture.
Software Spectrum is a company acquired by Level 3 Communications in 2002.
 Insight Enterprises purchased Software Spectrum from Level 3 Communications in September 2006.
 It is the world's largest Microsoft Large Account Reseller (LAR).
 In addition, the company sells a full array of software for PCs and servers, including Adobe, Symantec and Trend Micro.
GlobalFoundries (stylized as GLOBALFOUNDRIES) is a semiconductor foundry headquartered in Santa Clara, California, United States.
 GlobalFoundries was created by the divestiture of the manufacturing arm of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) on March 2, 2009, expanded through the acquisition of Chartered Semiconductor on January 23, 2010, and further expanded through the acquisition of IBM Microelectronics on July 1, 2015.
 The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is the owner of the company through its subsidiary Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC).
 On March 4, 2012, AMD announced they divested their final 14% stake in the company, which concluded AMD's multi-year plan to divest its manufacturing arm.
Hector de Jesus Ruiz Cardenas (born December 25, 1945) is the chairman and CEO of Advanced Nanotechnology Solutions, Inc. and former CEO & executive chairman of semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD).
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale, California, United States, that develops computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets.
 While initially it manufactured its own processors, the company later outsourced its manufacturing, a practice known as fabless, after GlobalFoundries was spun off in 2009.
 AMD's main products include microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors and graphics processors for servers, workstations and personal computers, and embedded systems applications.
Torrenza was an initiative announced by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in 2006 to improve support for the integration of specialized coprocessors in systems based on AMD Opteron microprocessors.
 Torrenza does not refer to a specific product or specific technology, though the primary focus is on the integration of coprocessor devices directly connected to the Opteron processors' HyperTransport links, and other co-processors connected via PCI Express.
 The initiative's stated goals include improving technical and technology support for third-party developers of coprocessing devices, reducing the cost of implementing HyperTransport interfaces on these devices, and improving the performance of the integrated system.
 It can be argued, that the original idea behind Torrenza was successfully implemented in form of Heterogeneous System Architecture by AMD and the other members of the HSA Foundation.
Framewave (formerly AMD Performance Library (APL)) is computer software, a high-performance optimized programming library, consisting of low level application programming interfaces (APIs) for image processing, signal processing, JPEG, and video functions.
 These APIs are programmed with task level parallelization (multi-threading) and instruction-level parallelism single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) for maximum performance on multi-core processors from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
Miniature Card or MiniCard was a flash or SRAM memory card standard first promoted by Intel in 1995.
 The card was backed by Advanced Micro Devices, Fujitsu and Sharp Electronics.
 They are no longer manufactured.
 The Miniature Card Implementers Forum (MCIF) promoted this standard for consumer electronics, such as PDAs and palmtops, digital audio recorders, digital cameras and early smartphones.
 The Miniature Card is 37 × 45 × 3.5 mm thick and can have devices on both sides of the substrate.
 Its 60-pin connector was a memory-only subset of PCMCIA and featured 16-bit data and 24-bit address bus with 3.3 or 5-volt signaling.
 Miniature Cards support Attribute Information Structure (AIS) in the I²C identification EEPROM.
Am2900 is a family of integrated circuits (ICs) created in 1975 by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
 They were constructed with bipolar devices, in a bit-slice topology, and were designed to be used as modular components each representing a different aspect of a computer control unit (CCU).
 By using a bit slicing technique, Am2900 family was able to implement a CCU with data, addresses, and instructions to be any multiple of 4 bits by multiplying the number of ICs.
 One major problem with this modular technique was it required a larger amount of ICs to implement what could be done on a single CPU IC.
 The Am2901 chip was the arithmetic-logic unit (ALU), and the "core" of the series.
 It could count using 4 bits and implement binary operations as well as various bit-shifting operations.
