AMD stands for Advanced Micro Devices. It is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California. It was invented by Jerry Sanders, Jack Gifford, John Carey. It started supplying x86 processors as a second source manufacturer and became a competitor with Am386.
Before now, there has been a wrong misconception about the amount of heat generated by AMD processor while in use. That has become a thing of the past, with the new release of the latest A-Series( A6, A8 and A10) and Ryzen( Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen7, Ryzen9).
On a scale of 1-10, AMD processors come at 5-10. It is cheaper than Intel Processors at a similar range. These processors are efficient compared to the current generation Core series. AMD APUs are also a good option for their good iGPU performance and comparable CPU performance to Core i series. Laptops powered with Ryzen processors often clock lower and less aggressively compared to Intel-powered laptops, they often run cooler and longer on battery, thus for laptops, when higher iGPU performance and longer battery life is preferred, Ryzen powered laptops can be used.
AMD processors have proven to be competitive. ... Easy; because AMD is great at balancing price and performance in its products, which means that they're among the best value processors on the market today
