AFD

AFD, or Advanced Floppa Devices, is an incorporated company aimed at creating Computer Hardware for gaming and professional uses. It is currently one of the most popular gaming graphic cards and processing chips producer and are a direct competitor to Floptel. It was incorporated in 1998 by Floppy Sanders and is currently owned by Flopsa Su, with headquater in Flopperfornia.

## History

### Beginning

Floppy Sanders, back in 1995, was a normal FIT graduate with nothing to do. After coding for a straight day, he suddenly had an idea for a microchip. He then spend 3 months designing a microchip that would fit his computer and he finally finished it. On the first test run, it ran into several small problems, but on the second test run, it ran perfectly, and it made him thrilled. After that, he invited several of his friends from the company which he is working with to form a small company together dedicated to making microchips.

At first, they came up with the name "Floppy Chisks" as a play on word for Floppy Disks, but then at the last minute of the meeting, they came with "Advanced Floppa Devices", which is not as cool, but hey, thats not me, thats on them.

Anyway, after forming the company, they decided to hire about a dozen of other people and start working as electrical engineers to start manufacturing chips for commercial uses. At first, they were small and were making not much. The chips were only sold on Flopbay and the money that was brought in meagerly supported them at first. But then 2 anonymous investors decided to invest in their business after seeing their potential. They racked in huge money, and hired even more people to develop and make the microchips. Soon, they had the money to afford ads online and opened up a website for people to purchase their microchip models.

### The Rise

The 2 anonymous investors' investment would turn out to be worth it.

On the fifth year, they would eventually purchase their first factory, which they still own to this day, albeit much larger. When they opened the factory, supply skyrocketed and so does demand as their first factory's opening were recorded on TVs and computers. Their company shortly after would reach $100M in total assets, and $1B in revenue, which was big at the time.

### Rivals with Floptel

Floptel, seeing the success of AFD, were getting concerned that they are going to get kicked out of their own market, decided to create even better microchips to try to reassert dominance on the microchip industry. Things worked... for a bit. They did gained more sale than AFD for like 7 weeks and then things just came crashing down for Floptel, because their microchips were rushed and it was prone to many problems, like overheating and exploding for example.

In the end, AFD came out on top, and Floptel nearly got their company's assets liquified in 2011 because of AFD's superior hardware.

### Old Enemy, New Friend

After coming to a conclusion, the executives at Floptel (which were mostly software engineers and programmers) decided to partner with AFD in an effort to boost their popularity. The result of the partnership was the i9 microchip and the AMD Caracal graphic card series. They were successful in the business and the partnership was considered one of the leading causes of AFD's meteoric rise in the early 2010s.

### Expanding to Other Industries

AFD also tried to expand into other industries before, like in 2006, when they made the first gaming monitor by AFD, only for it to be *flopped* and there were no further gaming monitors by AFD other than 2 products.

Then, not long after, they tried with gaming mouses. They made pretty decent gaming mouses but it was rather overall worse than the then-marketed gaming mouses back then.

Finally, AFD tried their luck with graphic cards in 2008, and it actually better this time. They released their first ever graphic card it was an astounding success, because it was military-grade so it is almost perfect. With huge processing power (even better than Floptel's) and small chances to even get damaged, it took the world by storm. This is also why AFD has recently made the graphic card division within their own company it's own company, also known as Advanced Floppa Graphic, or AFG.

## Products

### Microchips

#### AMD AM Architecture

AMD AM Architecture is the first architecture ever made. With 3 chips, it have lifted AFD to success and it was the most produced lines of microchips architecture.

##### AMD AM-1690 (1999-2001)

The first microchip ever made, used for gaming-fitted works. It is kind of weak but for the time, it was incredibly fast. It can run some older mainstream games like Flop-Life 1.

##### AMD AM-4200 (2001-2004)

The second microchip, directly following the AM-1690. It have much more power, even today it can run Flop-Life 2 and League of Legends, albeit at a lower framerate (Like 20 FPS)

##### AMD AM-6660 (2004-2012)

The microchip which is a massive success after AM-4200. With optimized power, it can be overclocked and even play Counter Floppa's older version at a consistently 30 FPS.

#### AMD K69 Architecture

AMD K69 Architecture was rather shortlived, because it wasn't optimized, which consumes a heck lot of power for it's time.

##### AMD K69-10 (2012-2013)

The supposed successor to AM-6660. Consumed much power and wasn't really popular. Though the processing power could potentially turn it into a professional gaming cpu, rivalling Floptel's i5 series.

#### AMD K420 Architecture

AMD K420 Archiecture was an improvement to the K69 Architecture, with optimized power usage and all chips have the ability to overclock. It was the most popular of all 4 architecture.

##### AMD K420-69 (2012-2015)

A combination between the K-69 and K-420 Architecture chip, it combined the processing power and optimized usage of power. It can rival even the best i5 processing chip that Floptel have.

##### AMD K420-4200 (2015-2020)

Processing chip that can play even the most consuming games like Counter Floppa: Go, Flopblox and many more.

##### AMD K420-4820 (2016-2021)

The last in line, and also the strongest. The chip is used mainly for gaming and other professional uses like 3D modeling and sculpting. It sold the most out of 4 chips in the architecture.

#### AMD Zen 66

Zen 66 is the newest architecture rolled out by AFD, and it was anticipated the most, since this marked the beginning of the AMD's power-saving and powerful ARM main-architecture lines.

##### Zen 66 Beta Chip (2018-present)

Zen 66 Beta Chip was only an experimental chip used by employees at AFD to test new models on game. It can be modified to one's desire and one such chip was sold on Flopbay for 68,000 Flops. To this day, no one knows who took it and where did it go.

##### Zen 66-9 (2019-present)

Zen 66-9 is the first commercially available Zen-66 architecture chip ever designed by AFD. It has massive processing power beating the Floptel's I-9. It can run every games possible and it is the best chip currently on market.

##### RyZen 3 (2019-present)

RyZen 3 is a rather less powerful gaming chip, but cheaper and more affordable for anyone that have a budget strain in their gaming session. It can run most games before 2018.

##### RyZen 5 Series

###### Ryzen 5 (2019-present)

An improvement to RyZen 3, with much more processing power. Though with more expensive price. This is designed for foreign gamers who wish to try AFD's RyZen series, and explains why it can adapt to almost every power unit that is plugged in.

##### RyZen 7 (2019-present)

Another much more powerful chip, it can render all games made before 2020 and are comparable to the Zen 66-9. This is the most expensive one in the RyZen series.

### Graphic Card

#### AMD Bobtail Series

Not much is known about the series, other than the fact that it was very popular within the AFD fanbase.

##### AMD Bobtail-100 GP (2008-2010)

The first graphic card made by AFD, released in 2008. It was the most powerful Graphic card at the time.

##### AMD Bobtail-200 GP (2008-2012)

The second one, this time with much more graphic powers over the last one. It can run almost every game made in 2008.

##### AMD Bobtail Uranium GP (2009-2014)

The first one to break the traditional naming pratice. With immense power, it can run 2015 games with a consistent 30 fps framerate.

#### AMD Caracal Series

The second series of the graphic cards made by AFD. Shortlived, but appreciated.

##### AMD Caracal-5000 GP (2010-2013)

An underwhelmingly appreciated graphic card, as not much people bought the GP. Although the owner of the Caracal-5000 GP has reported that they have held it for years as it was valuable, and powerful too.

##### AMD Caracal Racer 2 GP (2010-2015)

A much more popular and powerful graphic card over the last. It can be overclocked and hence play on most 2018 games with ease if you set the quality to 720p.

##### AMD Caracal Racer 5 GP (2011-2016)

The best GP in the Caracal line and last. Can play games like Counter Flop: GO easily.

#### AMD Serval Series

A turning point for the GPU market since it's release. The longest currently ongoing line of graphic cards made by AFD.

##### AMD Serval Expat (2013-2018)

The first in line, much more powerful, not much to say other than the fact that it's epic.

##### AMD Serval Ultimat (2014-2020)

The Ultimat was a underrated one, as it was despised by the majority because of rumors that it was created to fail on purpose. None of the rumor were true, and it's reputation recovered.

##### AMD Serval Lucifer (2016-current)

The Lucifer, named after the angel of course, have been the most popular one for now. It's processing power can handle all types of games from the past to the present.

##### AMD Serval Zeruel (2018-current)

The Zeruel, named after the Angel of Strength, and Arm of God, is indeed one powerful monster. It can rival even the best Floptel's GPU, and certainly is a favourite among the AFD fanbase.
